Too bad for you New York Times, whistle-blower does not fit in this case.

A whistleblower must also limit the disclosure to a member of Congress or staff of the executive or legislative branch holding the appropriate security clearance and authorized to receive the information disclosed.

[Tarpon]

With freedom comes responsibility.

Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, expressed outrage at the Justice Department investigation into who leaked classified information to The New York Times


She should be arrested and thrown in Jail.
Just another stinkin Commie Pinko.

"The public needed to know about it and that is a classic reason why reporters need to protect their sources and it is even more reason why there is a need to have a federal shield law."

No... the public did not need to know, and for SURE, Al Quaida did not need to know.

The reporter should be asked for their source, and if refused, put in jail until the traitor that exposed this national security information is found.

re: seriousness of this case could drive regular citizens to speak out

Certainly makes me want to speak out! Find whoever did this and, with proper consideration of their civil rights of course, throw the book at them.

[primatreat]

"This is much more of a -classic whistleblower-( insert Treason) than the Plame case was and that is why the stakes are much higher," Dalglish said.
The fecal material will fly on this one!

[jimbo123]

They're they go again with their "Whistleblower" talking points...

[mtbopfuyn]

No, the public didn't need to know. Yeah, there needs to be an investigation and jail time - of the congressman who leaked it and the Slimes that ran with it.

[MizSterious]

Yes, and I've heard other "journalists" whine about "the chilling effect" on "journalism" that this investigation will have. This isn't about journalism. It's about printing national secrets that could (and has, if you count past stories) cause many deaths.

[skimask]

Good thing I'm not running things, because I'd take that reporter to Gitmo and waterboard him until he gives up the leaker, then toss his ass in jail for 30 years just for good measure.

[tet68]

Dalglish believes that the seriousness of this case could drive regular citizens to speak out against such investigations and push more for a federal source protection bill to be passed by Congress. "Hopefully the public will begin to understand," she said.

Note to radical leftists, start demonstrations now!

[facedown]

"This is much more of a classic whistleblower than the Plame case was and that is why the stakes are much higher," Dalglish said.

Argle bargle.

[Nateman]

Maybe after they throw a few of these knuckleheads in jail they will take this war seriously and not as just another excercise to score a few political points.

[MNJohnnie]

Ummm NO E&P. You do NOT get to demand the 1st Amendment does NOT protect "journalists" when you think the Plame-Wilson slander is going to "get Bush" then turn around and demand to be shielded because one of your pet stooges breaks dozens of Laws to leak SERIOUS classified info. IF the National Security issues involved in the mythical leak of Plame's CIA status OVERRULED the failed media's need to be shielded in the Affair Du Plame, the SAME principal CERTAINLY applies in this FAR more serious breach of classified info. You sowed the win American Leftist, reap now the whirlwind.

[gunnedah]

Another piece of Liberal Propaganda. America is at war and they are traitors. If there is something illegal to be revealed let them take it to Congress instead of giving the enemy aid. Our problem is that our diverse nation is not made up of Americans,it is made up of those trying to overthrow America while sucking away all of our wealth.If one does not want th be an American they should not come here. For those of us whose ancestors have paid the price and we are nothing more than Americans our identity and our way of life is being snuffed out. We in effect are prisoners in our own country and it is time to take up arms if necessary and take our country back.Enough is enough.

[conservative barking moonbat]

Is mccain on vacation? He is usually the first a-hole to come out in support of the MSM and the Times.

[sgtbono2002]

These Effin people have lost their effin minds.

No secret is safe ,they fall over themselves to prove which is the biggest traitor. It has often been said that a journalist would sell their mother for a story, How can it be denied when the Washington Post and the NY Times have already sold out their country.

[olezip]

Lucy belongs in jail! Where is the outrage at the release of classified information? Scumbags who illegally obtain and publish such info make a few bucks for their newspapers, but probably caused untold damage to the country and lives of others. IMHO release of classified information trumps the shield law! Maybe Lucy is guilty of something!

[Semi Civil Servant]

In the eyes of the media::

The Bush Administration spying on US citizens talking to terrorists overseas to protect the country:

EVIL

The Clinton Administration spying on US citizens:

NO BIG DEAL

The MSM spying on the government and reporting classified information that benefits America's enemies:

GOOD

No wonder growing millions despise the MSM.
