WSJ editor fined

The Associated Press reports that a senior editor for the Wall Street Journal, Melanie Kirkpatrick, was fined 10,000 Singapore dollars (6,660 US) for contempt of court and ordered to pay $10,000 dollars in legal costs over three articles that allegedly insulted the city-state's judiciary.
From the story:

"Kirkpatrick, based in New York, was found liable for allowing the publication of three articles that, according to Singapore prosecutors, impugned the integrity and independence of local courts. The articles in question were two editorials and a letter by a Singapore opposition leader, Chee Soon Juan of the Singapore Democratic Party, published in the Wall Street Journal Asia in June and July 2008."
