Risen's track record couldn't be better if he was an al-Qaida agent.

I'm hard pressed to think of anyone alive who has done more to undermine the national security of the United States than James Risen. Our current president excepted, of course.

Think:

When someone inside the White House (or inside the Honolulu vital records office) leaks the smoking gun that brings Barry 0 down, do we really want the reporter who breaks the story to face jailtime for protecting his source??

Careful what you wish for.

Freedom of the press works both ways, and the Founders protected it for a reason.

(Traitor James Risen of the NYT)

Well stated!

He's an accomplice in releasing highly classified info, jail him.

It's surprising that the Obama administration is going after him.

[TribalPrincess2U]

facing prison if he doesn’t reveal sources that gave him highly classified information on U.S. intelligence in Iran.

In prison or out, I would think he has a target on his back.

Here's the little twit.

Jail hell!

There is only one acceptable punishment for treason!

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

New York Times reporter James Risen is facing prison if he doesn’t reveal sources that gave him highly classified information on U.S. intelligence in Iran.

Fine. Let him protect his source. Simply charge him under the Espionage act.

Espionage is NOT protected speech.

He'll cut a deal soon enough.

“Schoenfeld says no reporter is above the law.”

There are no more reporters; they’re all activists.

[Jack Hammer]

The national press corps are merely carrying Obama’s water as the president goes about destroying the United States. In that respect, the reporter is merely attending to his assigned role.

[bert]

He works for the Old Gray Whore and is therefore expendable

Crucify him

[Waco]

How’s the food in that jail? They do need a new dishwasher don’t they???

[four more in O 4]

I'm curious -

How could anyone, that is an American, during wartime, think the public release of classified information directly related to national security is in the best interest of the American public and our Sovereignty

How is it not: TREASON?

[melancholy]

This obligation has not deterred voices in and around the press from justifying both the leaking and the publishing of the leaked materials. Risen himself calls his anonymous sources “heroes.” Others, striking a tone of outrage, profess to see no public purpose served by government secrecy in this critical realm: “The message [the Obama administration is sending] to everyone is, 'You leak to the media, we will get you,' " is what Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, complained to The Washington Post. “We had thought that the Obama administration would be different,” writes Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, “a little less likely to want to menace and jail journalists... I find this utterly disappointing."

I don't know what to tell you. It angers me to no end that the communists infiltrated every aspect of life in the country in spite of the valiant effort by late Senator McCarthy.

If Risen and his sources were citizens of countries that they want to transform the US into, would have been executed in a matter of 24 hours. The paper that would have published that would have been no more and its entire staff would have been ushered to hard labor for life without parole.

Turning the US into a banana republic or a communist dictatorship will one day turn on them.

We'll not allow that to happen, I'm sure.
