But the Valerie Plame-CIA case that threatens jail time for reporters from Time and The New York Times this week is the exception that shatters the rule. In this case, journalists as a community have been played for patsies by the president’s chief strategist, Karl Rove, and are enabling him to abuse the First Amendment, by their invoking it.

Well, the problems with this fellow's working theory are numerous, (of course he's clearly blinded by hate hence the intellectual dishonesty), but let's start with the fact that Rove has signed a waiver releasing reporters from any confidentiality agreements meaning he has set them free to reveal what he told them.

And of course, he did not reveal Plame's role in sending her husband to Niger. He did indeed discuss it after he learned about it.

I missed this. Is there a source?
