jailing journalists imprisons America

from Clarence Page, columnist for the Chicago Tribune, on the ongoing saga of the Plame investigation... which now has Federal investigators jailing journalists who write stories ABOUT stories in which the name of a covert CIA agent had been leaked. To this day Robert Novak still has yet to see the business end of a judge's gavel, but 2 other journalists have... and strangely it was Novak who did the 'outing' (at the whim of a still-nameless 'senior administration official'). * update: check out billmon's most recent post on the Plame investigation.
