The suit was filed by Saudi Arabian student Abdulrahman Alharbi, who was injured at the scene of the deadly bombings. Beck continued to link the Saudi national to the attacks even after U.S. officials said publicly he'd been cleared.
U.S. District Court Judge Patti Saris ruled that Beck must disclose the names of two Department of Homeland Security employees who allegedly gave a Beck producer information backing up the radio and TV host's claim that Alharbi was the "money man" behind the attack.
The judge said deposition testimony from Beck and two of his top deputies at the time — Joel Cheatwood and Joe Weasel — was "vague and often contradictory" about what the sources said and when they said it. She also noted that the key sources spoke directly only with Weasel, who claimed to record the information on Post-It notes "which he then discarded."

Um hmm right. Never trust a weasel
First and Fifth. Don't budge, Glenn. You owe nothing to anyone. You are free. Break this oath, and all real journalism is lost!
Glen Beck open mouth insert foot AGAIN!!! What a nut job
Glen does not have either source,so in actuality he cannot name them.He concocted the entire story.
9:09 - Look at the nut jobs record. Nut job? Whatever!!
Too bad for Glenn Beck. He has no choice but to fight it. Either he betrays his sources or he loses his lawsuit. If he made the story up then I hope he gets the maximum penalty. Lies, innuendo and half truths aren't news.
Cheatwood? Weasle? Give me a break.
The title of the book is "Never Tease a Weasle."
