There is no Constitutional right to protect leakers or any other source for a journalist's story. They have no such protection as they have always claimed...........

What do you think should be done with the government official who leaked this story to the press?

He/she is responsible for a lot of unnecessary taxpayers' tax dollars being wasted for no good reason. Also responsible for passing classified information to an unauthorized person. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If any good came from this incident, it its the SCOTUS' flatout rejection of the reporters' appeals. This should put the MSM on notice that any further such claims are a dead end as far as the federal appeals courts are concerned. The Plame/Libby case comes to mind..........
