On what charge? The First Amendment is very clear about freedom of the
press. Funny, in the entire Constitution I can't find anything in it
about "classified" information. There's a reason for that.

If you truly believe journalists should be jailed for publishing
classified information, you really should consider a more appropriate
country for your ideological bent. China, perhaps?


But it's OK to squelch Fox News for disagreeing with Obama?

Yes, I think journalists who divulge classified information should be
jailed. I should have said 'properly classified'. Information which,
if in the wrong hands, can be detrimental to our national security
should not be published just because it makes a 'good story'.

Amen.



The great (new) canard of the right. Except, it didn't happen. Fox lied
about it happening, but it didn't happen.
