I think the press, which I consider vital to this country, is being intimidated by this administration thru legal means. Witness what happened to the reporters in the CIA operative leak ordeal. Madness imo.

The press being able to accurately report situations is vital to the freedom of this country. I view the press as almost the 4th branch of government, even though they are not a part of the government... Terribly important to any true democracy. Almost all dictators, etc... countries that want tight control over everything, attack the intellectuals and press first.
