Risen No Longer a Witness in Sterling Case

New York Times reporter James Risen will not be testifying after all in the Jeffrey Sterling trial, according to A. G. Eric Holder.  Mr. Risen has steadfastly maintained he would not reveal the source that disclosed information which he later revealed in his book State of War. The government subpoened him and he took the fight to quash the subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court, a fight which he lost. However, the government has not insisted that he reveal his sources. Now, both sides have dropped him as a witness in the case. More here from the NY Times.
