Congress also has an interest now that it is contemplating a "shield law" to protect media sources

Congress should not pass such a law. The media already has way too much power and way too little accountability.

I have absolutely no problem what Fitz did with reporters, which is why courts decided that they do not have the privilege of keeping the names of the "sources" secret in certain investigations (particularly concerning national security).

I do believe that Fitz is trying to keep these documents secret because he lied to the courts about the reasons for necessity of their testimonies, and misinforming and misleading the court about the "classification" of one Valerie Plame, sine qua non of his "investigation".

Agreed. Reporters should be treated no differently than anyone else in the eyes of the law. To grant them special status mocks America's committment to equal justice.
