A federal judge yesterday held reporters from four major news organizations in contempt of court for refusing to name confidential sources in their reports on Wen Ho Lee, the nuclear scientist once accused of being a spy. The judge ordered reporters from the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and CNN to tell Lee’s attorneys the names of federal officials who provided them confidential information.
