Wow. Apparently someone forgot to spike the kool-aide this AM - the DUmmies almost sound rational. BTW, Fitz is prob working up an investigation into security leaks by partisan Dems in CIA and NYTs. Enjoy.
"Assuming that the terms of the statute apply to the leaks involved in the NSA story, has the Times itself violated the statute and committed a crime? The answer is clearly affirmative. The statute makes knowing and willful "publication" of the proscribed information a crime. Moreover, under the basic federal aiding and abetting statute -- 18 U.S.C. § 2 -- in willfully helping the leakers publish their disclosures, the Times is as culpable as they are and punishable as a principal." - Powerline
