Could get ugly

She should not be forced to reveal a source (in this case)

She's not the first American reporter to face this from an American court, and she won't be the last. It's always repugnant to the First Amendment.

Caution! - that was what the Pentagon Papers case was all about. That, too, has tremendous potential for abuse, which is why as far back as 1971 the US Supreme Court ruled against the government in that instance.

You are absolutly right

It is a slipper slope to be sure
I would error on the side of the reporter were it me making a decision

But it will never be me
