Not the issue. If he gave up his source he would NEVER work in journalism again. NEVER!
The MSM has a code of conduct? The NYT? LOL.
He already has given limited testimony to this same grand jury telling them Lewis "Scooter" Libby of Dick Cheney's office was not the source.
Of course Libby had signed a confidentiality waiver as his name had been bandied about for months as the "leaker" (Chris Matthews would say "Scooter" or "Libby" or both dozens of times per show for weeks on end).
I also think it's interesting how Cooper references not being able to know all the evidence the prosecutor has. It's not the first time he or Judith Miller has spoken of wishing to know what the grand jury knows.
I just have to wonder why.
Rightly so. No journalist who betrays their sources should be trusted.
Exactly. This way he's in a win-win situation. He goes to jail and protects his source, becomes a 'victim' of 'Republican dirty tricks' and a martyr for the MSM. Plus, he will surely write a scathing book while he's imprisoned and then write his own ticket in the almighty world of journalism after his release. (And I don't imagine he'd be bothered one bit by having to 'get married' to a fellow prisoner either.)
