Global Relief - NY Times reporters Judith Miller and Philip Shenon allegedly leaked enough info to alert that organization of an impending raid. [Could have been someone else, though] In any case Fitzgerald's Grand Jury investigation into GRF must still be active.

Appellate Court to Hear Phone Records Case

By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer Mon Feb 13, 8:48 PM ET

NEW YORK - A federal appeals court on Monday said it would review a lower-court decision that ruled the government was not entitled to see telephone records of two reporters who talked with confidential sources after the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Judge Robert D. Sack of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the ruling deserved another look because, if upheld, it would set a nationwide precedent.

The government had sought 20 days' worth of phone calls by New York Times journalists Judith Miller and Philip Shenon in the fall of 2001, when the reporters had hundreds of conversations with dozens of confidential sources.

Miller, Fitzgerald Face Off Again

By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun
February 14, 2006

At the center of this leak case is the question of how Ms. Miller, who has since left the paper, and a second Times reporter came to learn of the government's plan to take action in the wake of September 11 against two Islamic organizations suspected of having terrorist ties.

The government is appealing a ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet last year that barred Mr. Fitzgerald from inspecting Ms. Miller's phone records. Mr. Fitzgerald's appeal has come before judges Amalya Kearse, Robert Sack, and Ralph Winter of the Second Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals. Judge Winter was absent from the panel at yesterday's hearing.
