• Court Rules Against Reporters; the Contempt Case Involves Confidential Sources in an Espionage Trial

WASHINGTON (AP) - In the second setback for the news media in two days, a federal appeals court upheld civil contempt findings Tuesday against four journalists whose confidential sources pointed to scientist Wen Ho Lee as a possible spy. Lee, who was exonerated of any espionage-related allegations, has sued over his treatment by the government. His lawyer wants the reporters to reveal their sources to help in Lee's lawsuit. The judge has cited them for contempt of court for refusing and has ordered fines of $500 per day, though the penalty has been placed on hold while appeals are under way.
