Slate's Jack Shafer is pretty much on the money in yesterday's column about the media's decision to pay "walk away money" to resolve the Wen Ho Lee mess. It's a Pyrrhic victory at best -- one with long-term implications for the newsgathering biz. Last August, I wrote this Phoenix piece warning that the this Lee case could be more worrisome to First Amendment advocates than the Judy Miller-Scooter Libby drama. (Of course, the common theme in both cases -- involving confidential sources -- is that the neither of these episodes exactly represented the news media's finest hour, reportorially speaking.)
