Freedom of the Press is Dead

This weekend the Washington Post reported that journalists may be prosecuted for printing classified information. Now this isn't just the type of information you would think would be off limits: troop strengths, secret weapons, the names of CIA operatives. This is also things like revealing wrong doing by the Administration.

That's right! The NY Times journalists could be prosecuted for telling you that the NSA is listening to domestic calls without warrants! The problem comes from the idea the administration has that keeping Republicans in power is a matter of national security. We know that getting them out of power is really the matter of national security.
