This is an UGLY double standard from the Pravda media.

They willingly disclose government secrets in open treason against America and yet someone views and reviews a work in progress and suddenly an “ethical” line has been crossed.

Dan Rather willingly took LSD, heroin, and other drugs in the name of “journalism”.

I’ll have to see their style guide again.

Wasn't the website that hosted the illegally obtained emails from Sarah Palin's Yahoo account using the argument that it was not illegal to post something that you obtained, if you yourself didn't obtain it illegally?

Didn't that website begin as a place for whistle-blowers to post government documents that the government didn't want exposed?

I'm just trying to recall what the standard is here. Did Friedman illegally download something, or did he just write a column on some material that he obtained, but that he didn't himself steal?
