During the Civil War General Sherman said reporters were spies and he treated them as such. Some things never change.

Grant actually kicked them all out of his camp and would only allow certain ones in after it was verified that several were spying for the enemy.

Actually I am starting to think that we should start revoking press privileges. Government doesn't have to give them privileges...and anyone who is contributing to the leaks needs to be taken out and shot for treason. Or at least start bringing some of the numbskulls up on charges...I am to the point I don't care about the cost...they are costing us American lives, Soldiers lives, British lives, Australian lives, and yes, even Iraqi lives. Lives matter more than the money! Charge'em with something ...conspiracy, treason, aiding and abetting...just do it already.
