I'd like these media traitors, who think of nothing or divulging our nation's secrets to the enemy, to be chilled permanently.

...but only if it could be done without the continuing waste of our precious energy resources.

"It's going to have a tremendously chilling effect on this interplay between sources and reporters."

The reporter thinks this is a bad thing... Reporters who want to exercise political power are subject to the same laws that the rest of us are and any who knowing release information that is classified should be prepared to accept the punishment that the person who gives them the info is subject to. That is, they are conspiring to violate the security of this nation and its security forces. They are endangering those who are trying to protect the nation and "we the people". Indict them and their sources and punish them.

There is a conventional wisdom in the media that it is OK or even patriotic to release national security information as long as it is for political reasons.

This is consistent with their unwavering support for traders such as the Rosenbergs or Ager Hiss. They will fain outrage at spies who release classified for nothing more than money. But when it comes to their fellow travelers whose ideology of American hatred they share, they will pull out all the stops to shield and protect them.

I want this spy exposed, tried and hanged. I could care less how long some reporter will rot in prison if they wish to impede the investigation. I hope they put then in with one of the nastiest Jihadies we are holding.

This is war and we must start treating that way.
