On the contrary, take alot of prisoners, especially treasonous journalists at the NYT's. They broke the law, and knowingly published secrets which are harmful to national security.
Prison is too good for that scum!
"there is "no excuse" for journalists to write about secret intelligence programs."
If this is so, why is the President not charging them in a court of law instead of in the court of public opinion? He's the one who can stop them from doing it again--there is 'no excuse' for him to demagogue on the issue when he can, by empaneling a grand jury, simply prosecute them and settle the matter as it should be settled.
If he and Rove plan this fall to be a choice between the Times and the President, that'll be about as valuable as the flag burning amendment. There is no traction in either issue in a populace concerned about more weighty federal matters, and aware of the Presidential power to charge the Times if he believes what he's saying.
