I was not suggesting the reporter has broken the law. However, the person that leaked the info to him might well have - Hence the comparison to Plame. Miller was not imprisoned for her reporting but she was for refusing to disclose the source of an unlawful leak. Same could well apply here if the leak is determined to be unlawful.

You stated imprison him until he discloses his source, but that has to be pursuant to a criminal investigation where he's ordered to testify. In the Plame affair, there's clearly no law broken. Here, we don't know if there was either.

Let's not repeat the Fitzgerald mistake: assume, then investigate. As stated earlier, let's also first see if what he published is actually correct. It would be a first if it were.
