Looong story short: Valerie Plame works for the CIA. Her position is unclear, some claiming she's in an administrative position, others claim she's a CIA "operative".
If she's an operative, her position and name are to be kept secret. However, she was "outed" by the media.
The media called for a special prosecutor to find out who leaked her name. (They're hoping it was Karl Rove)
The SCOTUS refused to hear the case to overturn a lower court ruling saying the reporters had to turn over the names of their sources as part of the investigation into who the leaker was.
The reporters must now turn over their notes and information, or go to jail.
