This one certainly is getting a lot of play. :)

Serious question though -- if information is classified, and a newspaper leaks it, shouldn't they be prosecuted? Does freedom of the press include classified material?

Anonymous Susan,

Serious answer: I'm pretty sure that federal prosecutors are looking into it. Every country has laws about aiding the enemy...and I'd say that letting the islamo-fascists know that their money is being traced is helping the enemy.

Did you see the letter from Lt. Tom Cotton? Been on lots of blogs and was quoted extensively in the Washington Times.

No, don't think I've seen that letter. What's it say?

Here's a Snopes link with the text of the letter, plus an examination of the controversy surrounding it.

Well, the one sure way to stop this crap is to prosecute the press when they publish classified information. I would support that.
