Time Inc. editor in chief Norman Pearlstine, who made the controversial choice last summer to turn over the notes of a reporter threatened with jail for refusing to identify a source, is writing a book about anonymous sources.
"Off the Record" is scheduled to be published by Nan A. Talese, an imprint of Doubleday, in 2007.
In a decision that brought criticism from his peers in journalism, Pearlstine agreed to comply with a court order to turn over notes by Time reporter Matt Cooper. They were sought by a special federal prosecutor investigating who in the Bush administration leaked the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame, a possible federal crime.
"The Valerie Plame case led to the most difficult decision I have had to make in my 37 years working as an editor and reporter," Pearlstine said in a statement issued Monday by Doubleday.
"But it taught me a lot about how anonymous and confidential sources have been used and misused, leading to some of our best and worst journalism. The professional and personal reflections that prefaced my decision also gave me insights into the standards and guidelines needed to help restore journalism and the publics faith in it."

I wonder what the heck is really going on? Or should I say what the heck really 'went' on? I've never seen a more BS story than Miller's 'explanation' on why she did time and what her GJ testimony consisted of. Something 'odd' went on here to say the least.
Sorry, Norm - - that toothpaste is out of the tube. People will always wonder how many Rathergates the dying socialist "mainstream" newrooms got away with over the decades before the new media took over.
There's no looking back now, Norm. It's over. Just go away. Maybe you could go boating with that scumbag Uncle Walter.
