I understand freedom of the press. I also understand the tradition of a reporter not revealing sources (don't know if by law, they don't have to, if thats true, its stupid)

But a reporter is NOT a lawyer, and a reporter is NOT a priest, and a reporter is NOT a psychiatrist.

Reporters who do not reveal sources on National Security issues should be JAILED. There is no way to tell if the reporter is LYING or not, anyone can "make up a source" - thats how democrats got into power - a lying, unaccountable press.

Let the journalist/reporter TALK. . . .or ROT IN JAIL

I have the feeling that a lot of left wing, anti America, hacks pretending to be journalists are finding out what you posted below. More will find out later as this case and the Sandy Bergular case unfold behind closed doors in Grand Jury investigations.

"Reporters who do not reveal sources on National Security issues should be JAILED. There is no way to tell if the reporter is LYING or not, anyone can "make up a source" - thats how democrats got into power - a lying, unaccountable press."

"Let the journalist/reporter TALK. . . .or ROT IN JAIL."

I will send a free copy of "Unfit for Command" to every left wing journalist, who is locked up for violations of National Security Issues, and maybe Gideons can provide them a free bible.

The landmark Supreme Court case, Branzburg v. Hayes took care of this some time ago.

With rare exception, reporters are not legally allowed to protect their sources.
