Gov't May Prosecute RECIPIENTS of Leaked Information

stickynote1.gif  From Instapundit to post at Volokh.com, this tasty judicial ruling that may hold the RECIPIENTS of government leaks accountable. Good quote at the end:

 "Under Judge Ellis' interpretation, it also seems the federal government could prosecute reporters at the Washington Post and New York Times for their reports on secret prisons, NSA surveillance, and other classified counter-terrror activities."

This ties loosely to yesterday's comment found at Newsbusters, where NBC's  Kevin Corke  was reporting on-air, at the close of a morning TODAY Show segment,  regarding how long the administration had known about the pending arrests in the British airline plot. So he closes with this comment, "but still it does beg the question how long ago did they know of this and why are we just hearing about it right now."

Nothing better epitomizes why the press was not included. 

MICHELLE MENTIONS, TOO.
