Right to Opine

The scandals aren’t going away:

• Glenn Greenwald Obama DOJ formally accuses journalist in leak case of committing crimes
  

  Under US law, it is not illegal to publish classified information. That fact, along with the First Amendment’s guarantee of press freedoms, is what has prevented the US government from ever prosecuting journalists for reporting on what the US government does in secret.

  So do Obama defenders believe that George Bush and Richard Nixon – who never prosecuted leakers like this or formally accused journalists of being criminals for reporting classified information – were excessively protective of press freedoms and insufficiently devoted to safeguarding secrecy? To ask that question is to mock it.

  This should be a bigger story than the targeting of the AP.

  Yes, it would have.
