Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker, has urged prosecuting authorities to halt the legal action against two San Francisco Chronicle reporters who face 18 months jail for refusing to name their sources for stories about steroid use in professional sports. Pelosi sent a letter to attorney general Alberto Gonzales calling on him to withdraw the subpoenas of Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada which ask them to identify their sources. She is just one of several high profile politicians who have sided with the journalists. (Via SFGate.com)
