From GREGG EASTERBROOK: It seems strange, and wrong, that Norman Pearlstine of Time magazine is being disparaged for complying with a court order and for his seemingly noncontroversial statement, "Our nation lives by the rule of law and none of us is above it." Pearlstine concluded that big corporations must obey the law.
Pearlstine had to weigh two competing ideals, freedom of the press and the rule of law.
Had Pearlstine in effect declared that the press is above the law, long-term harm to public respect for journalism might have been greater than whatever harm (possibly none) is caused by revealing one source after a long, determined, expensive attempt to avoid doing so.
