Appeals Court Refuses to Rehear CIA Leak Case (Plame)
Advertisements [?]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court refused on Tuesday to rehear a case in which it had ruled that two journalists must disclose conversations with their confidential sources to a grand jury investigating a leak that exposed the identity of a covert CIA operative.

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said it voted against rehearing the case before the whole court.

A three-judge panel in February upheld a lower court ruling that found New York Times investigative reporter Judith Miller and Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper in contempt for refusing to testify.

They each face jail time for refusing to testify.

The three-judge panel ruled that the two journalists must comply with a subpoena from a grand jury investigating whether the Bush administration illegally leaked the CIA officer's name to the news media.
