Re: [privacy] Fwd: Verizon Won't Give Government 'Unfettered' Record A ccess

You're not allowed to yell fire in a theatre for a reason, but, I
didn't say they shouldn't be able to do the story.

We're dealing with SECRET level information. There is a chain of
command to follow, and I'm sure there are processes for going outside
the chain of command. Congress, for instance, can be notified if it
comes to that. These people that are leaking information are only
doing it to either hurt Bush (or so they think) or to get publicity
for themselves. THEY are breaking the law. I'm also sure they signed
something to the effect that they swear not to give up secrets and
such - they've broken that contract.

Members of the press who choose to write such stories should know,
should EXPECT, that they'll be investigated. That doesn't mean they
shouldn't write the story - their allegiances are not the government.
