Are you implying that the Bush administration is responsible for putting journalists in jail? If so, I think that's probably the funniest spin I've read in quite a long time.

Judith Miller went to jail for protecting her sources in a case where the prosecutor was investigating Bush (in a case where a lot of people were misleading the public into believing Bush/Rove/Cheney were responsible for leaking secret information).

To actually now blame the Bush administration for a case in which it was really the victim – that's creative. I have to compliment you for somehow turning that one against Bush again. That's high-level political spin that you are working on.

Great story. I've heard of many of these cases but you've provided the sorely needed context. I love it when someone with an education gives me access to their wisdom and experience. Thank you for covering this.

FYI: I work on a related issue, election integrity, in Ohio. Did you know that we're still finding more votes than voters and more voters than votes out there? Especially in the Diebold touch-screen counties and despite the Democratic sweep. Two years of experience has taught me that both parties like this just fine.

Your worldview is unbelievably dangerous. We are at war with an enemy that desires to kill every infidel on the face of the earth and you are concerned about the wiretapping of terrorists.

Your naivet boggles the mind.

What a commie leftist you are! You talk about the Bush administration treating the press so mean – what about The New York Times leaking classified information in time of war? What a hypocrite you are!
