That’s all fine and dandy but you’re skipping the part where somebody actually legally compel them to testify.

No.

OK, I’m all for waterboarding leakers. But there could not be a lamer instance to whine about than identifying Salman Abedi before Brits had time to pretend he was an Amish gas leak.
What possible harm did giving out his name accurately do to their “investigation”? Any jihadis with knowledge of the bombing, or who aided and abetted it, knew Adebi was the bomber BEFORE THE FACT. They didn’t wait for a news report before destroying evidence and taking off. Or is the concern that the mass murderer’s ISIS-daddy and ISIS-bro’s hadn’t been officially notified, leaving them to learn of his martyrdom through the news? Boo hoo.

[RedStateRocker]

Dumb and dangerous beyond the power of words to describe. Anyone suggesting this is a despicable moron. Both in general principle and the fact that it WILL come back to bite the very fascist idiots who suggest it.

The *ONLY* legitimate constraint on the press is libel.

[Nero Germanicus]

It literally takes years from the time of a leak until there is a ruling of contempt.
Judith Miller’s New York Times article appeared on September 7, 2002 and she was held in CIVIL contempt on October 1, 2004; she appealed and the conviction was upheld and she went to jail in July, 2005.

Wrong. The treason was not publishing his name. It was the Brits trying to hide that information. They were hiding it to conceal that he was an Islamic terrorist.
They also needed it concealed that he was a recent migrant, and had been brought in 5 times for questioning.
They needed to conceal it that the FBI told MI-5 about it and they deep 6ed it because in January of 2017, they thought he wanted to assassinate someone.

The whore’s concert caught them by surprise, they were counting on him to assassinate a political leader. Any ideas who was trending in the news along about January of 2017?

[DesertRhino]

He was supposed to be Lee Harvey Abedi.

The Brits intended to conceal his name for a long time. Also coincidently, concealing that they knew all about him and funded him, made excuses for him, and unleashed him on that concert.

Detain them until they reveal the sources of the treason - if they refuse, let them serve the sentence for the crime.

Will stop a huge amount of the leaks when those treasonous rats don't have a protective layer of "the Press" to insulate them from their crimes.
