Matt & Judy Situation Critical

mattcooper2.jpgAs both the NYT and the WP note this morning, Matthew Cooper and Judith Miller have lost their latest round of appeals. They could face jail as early as next week. (The court’s full decision is here as a PDF.)

As the WP reports, both Time and the NYT “indicated yesterday that they would immediately seek a stay of the appellate court’s order and would ask for a review of the case by the U.S. Supreme Court.”

In one of the more intriguing parts of yesterday’s decision, the panel hinted that Bob Novak had spoken with the grand jury, and that his testimony was the result of the nine blank pages in the original decision.
