Colo. Worker Fired After Outed As Source (http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/content/news/ap/ap_story.html/National/AP.V2721.AP-Source-Fired.html)
ASPEN, Colo. (AP)--A town planner for the Snowmass ski resort was fired after she was identified as an anonymous source who criticized a housing and retail project.
Carolyn Poissant agreed to talk to The Aspen Times about the Base Village as an anonymous source, but in the editing process she was identified by her gender and her job, the newspaper said.
Poissant was the only female senior planner for Snowmass Village, and she was placed on administrative leave the same day.

The Aspen Times has apologized for the incident and ran an editorial encouraging the town not to fire Poissant.I wonder how many more anonymous sources will ever confide in The Aspen Times.
