Media Orgs Resist Libby Lawyers' Fishing Expedition

From Editor and Publisher:

Lawyers for The New York Times, Time Inc. and NBC News move to resist subpoenas in CIA leak case, saying they threaten the integrity of their news gathering operations. The subpoenas seek drafts of articles, even those that were not published; communications between reporters and editors; and e-mail exchanges. The Washington Post disclosed it had turned over a memo written by Bob Woodward.
