You'd better go back and read NYT v. US (1971). It was the "proper
authorities" who had violated the law. That's why we have a free press in
the first place.

So let me see if I have this correct. When you uncover evidence of
what you consider to be a crime, the proper response is to call a reporter
and tell them, and not to report it to those who have any responsibility
for proper enforcement of the law?

Hmm, must be interesting at the old newsroom. "Hey Charlie, Ed's on
the line again, wants to report that his house was broken into.." "Has he
called the cops?" "You know Ed, he believes he's suppose to call the
newspaper first."

From the evidence in this case, it appears that a disgruntled employee
who opposed Bush decided to rat out America's interests to the press,
rather than take it up the chain of command.

So of course the democrats believe him. Just as they believed the fake
but accurate memos about Lt Bush's time in the TANG.

Right, and I have a bridge for sale, and it not dear.
