Адвокатът на новинарските агенции, които подкрепиха жалбата, Флойд Ейбръмс, описа решението от сряда като "пробив".
Floyd Abrams, a lawyer representing the news organisations that supported the appeal, described Wednesday's ruling as a "breakthrough" and said it ensures that war correspondents "can do their jobs without the concern they will be routinely placed in the impossible position of testifying against their sources."
