As reported by the Associated Press on the web site of the Detroit Free Press, the Delaware Supreme Court has ruled that Comcast does not have to reveal the identities of bloggers who posted anonymously to a newspaper's web site. At issue was whether the bloggers' entries rose to the high standard of proof required for a successful claim of defamation of a public official. Smyrna councilman Patrick Cahill filed suit after posts claimed he had suffered "obvious mental deterioration", and used the name "Gahill" to suggest that he was homosexual.
