Advocates say ruling chills reporters (AP)

U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton, the judge sitting on the case of I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, arrives at the U.S. District Court, in this file photo of Thursday, Nov. 3, 2005, in Washington. Walton on Friday denied a request from former USA Today reporter Toni Locy to stay payment of fines pending an appeal and ruled she must 'personally bear the responsibility of paying the fine the court imposed.' Free press advocates said Saturday that a federal judge is trying to bankrupt a former reporter by ordering her to personally pay up to $5,000 per day for refusing to name government sources investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks and said the case shows why Congress should pass a pending federal shield law for reporters. (AP Photo/Haraz N. Ghanbari)AP - A judge is trying to bankrupt an ex-reporter with daily fines as much as $5,000 for refusing to disclose her sources for stories about the 2001 anthrax attacks, press advocates said Saturday.
