Media shield law remains in doubt

By: Pam On: Mar/18/08 - 1 Comment

WASHINGTON - As federal judges order more reporters to disclose their confidential sources, news organizations are pinning their hopes on congressional passage of a media shield bill the Bush administration opposes as a threat to national security.

They should just look to the words of WaPo: Every right, no matter how precious, is subject to some limits.

    There is nothing in the Constitution that allows a reporter to withhold the names of their sources. With the continuing leakage of classified information to the press coming out of Congress, it’s time we take the sobs who are endangering the lives of our troops with their grandstanding and treat them like the traitors that they are. They took an oath to protect the Constitution and by giving aid and comfort to the enemy, they are breaking that oath. Nothing less than a felony conviction and 3 to 5 in Leavenworth is an acceptable punishment. Congress has been a sieve since the Jefferson administration, time to put a cork in it. The times are too dangerous for this nonsense.
