Time Decides Everything I Learned in Journalism School was Optional—Will Hand Over A Confidential
I have to tell you, that while this situation stinks all around, I'm deeply, deeply disappointed in Time magazine. They hide behind "the Rule of Law," but in fact, the Rule of Law requires that laws be just. Read this quote from the UNESCO site: "UNESCO committed itself to promoting freedom of expression, the cornerstone of human rights, as well as its corollary, freedom of the press, the essential component of any democratic society. Freedom of expression is a sine qua non condition for all citizens to participate in the democratic life and development of a society and the building of peace. Free exercise of this right is in fact a condition for the realization of all other rights. It is essential to the equitable practice of justice because the principle of the rule of law is insufficient. Laws must be just and not the product of an authoritarian power beyond the control of its citizens who are reduced to silence and submissiveness."

ilya haykinson talks about what went awry with the L.A. Times wikitorial
One thing people always seem to get wrong: Anonymity does not equal untrustworthy. In fact, some people who are given anonymity online will act in a more straightforward and consistent manner because they're not under multiple competing pressures from offline sources -- expressing their true beliefs, helping others without fear of reprisal or blowback.
