GOOD question. One I have been wondering about too.

[counterpunch]

Well lets not get ahead of ourselves. The press, for better or for worse, cannot be prosecuted for what they print, regardless of what it is. That's the 1st Amendment.

This is similar to -- yet much more serious than -- the Valerie Plame situation and Robert Novak. No one has -- nor should have -- called for Novak to be prosecuted on treason charges.

However, who ever leaked this information to the NYT should be out of a job at the very least, if not prosecuted for on any charges that may apply.


I find it interesting how "the leak" was the story in the media for the case of Wilson and his wife, but there's been hardly a peep over it in for this much more serious and damaging one.

Perhaps the NYT saw that Bush was making progress in the war on terror and decided John Kerry needed a little help. Afterall, what's bod for America is good for the Democrats.

If John Walker didn't go to prison for treason, it's safe to say the crime no longer exists.

Say something that meets the aforementioned critera and hurts a prominent demonrat would be my guess...
