Phoenix sheriff wants New Times notes and identities of people who viewed paper's Web site

The Maricopa County sheriff in Phoenix, Ariz., got a grand jury to subpoena the New Times for all stories, notes and tapes about him going back to 2004, and the identity of anyone who looked at the New Times Web site since 2004, including anyone who looked at a story, review, listing, classified or retail ad. The paper is fighting it in court. This is one case where press advocates and privacy advocates will be on the same side. See the New Times story.
