He didn't "squeal" he had permission in writing from the source to disclose the source. Once the source says they don't care about anonymity any more, it's up to the journalist whether to reveal it.
The court has NO right to compel a journalist to give up anything that wasn't in the original story. To attempt to seize that right is #1 legislating from the bench and #2 a clear attempt to kill the 1st amendment.
