I was going to do this long post after reading this great editorial by the National Review but in the end I only have one quetion that I'll ask LR our in house journalist... How can that man from the NY TIMES Keller justify what he did? With no repercussions? If the press is our "check" on the three branches of government...who is going to be the "check" on the press to save us from their tyranny???

Although they'd like you to think otherwise, journalists are not above the law. They can be prosecuted under espionage laws. They can go to jail if they don't reveal their sources. The problem with our president, as with his dad, is he is unwilling to play hardball with his opponents. No matter how crazy the Democrats act, he still plays the gentleman. Had I been elected, lo these many years ago, the first thing I would have done was count the silverware. Then I would have started an investigation and prosecuted all those juvenile delinquents who vandalized the White House as they were leaving.
I can only hope that he's come to his senses and is trying to plug these leaks. These liberal bureaucrats who are undermining our war efforts have got to be stopped. If FDR were in office, he'd already have built internment camps just for journalists and they'd be incarcerated without even a trial -- just as the Japanese-Americans were. Journalists were scared to death of him. Nobody is scared to death of Bush -- except the terrorists.
LR, you are correct.
Both president Bush and his father have squandered there presidencies for the sake of pre-announced bi-partisanship and compromise, respectively. While such legacies are perhaps personally important to them from an historical perspective, it does raise questions about their voter loyalty (I am an independent voter) and the possibilty of superior respect for unannounced entities.
