The NYT deserves what it sows.

It wasn't enough to just defeat their political enemies they wanted to deligitmize them. Criminalize political differences is the scam that failed. Special pros Fitzgerald never found the underlying crime he was sent to find but a reporter wound up in jail anyway.

Case law now makes it clear that journalists can be hauled before a grand jury without a presumption of guilt. If there was any concern besides politics concerning the latest NYT "leak" it should have been addressed to the Feds whistleblower statue that allows info on the issue to be brought up to Congress. There is no right or wrong moralism concerning classified info. Bush hating Lefties posing as whistleblowers are traitors.

The NYT and it's followers are guilty of the fact that to subpoena a journalist to find out their sources is no longer much of a legal or social problem. Fitz established that the gov't can pursue a leak of merely "alleged" classified info.
