Law is not opinion. Law is by very specific act. Please reread the part of my post regarding the Constitutional guarantee of a free press overweighting a statute prohibiting the release of certain information.

We may not like it, but it is the way the Constitutional protections operate.

Would you really have wanted the reporters who broke the Monica story jailed because they reported on the testimony given before a Grand Jury?

Monica wasn't a matter of national security,nor were we at war. How you can compare information about Clinton screwing an intern in the WH to leaking classified information during wartime is a little ridiculous.

Freedom of the press does not cover overt acts of treason, sorry. Deliberately exposing a secret defense intelligence program during a war cannot be construed in any way as the mere publishing of one's own point of view. It is a deliberate act designed to aid our enemies. This falls into the fire-in-a-crowded-theater category - it's not free speech to do so.
