I just listened to one of the reporters last night on C-span talking about the ordeal. He basically stated that the current administration has been terribly hostile towards the press, including the incident in which he is awaiting an appeal.
I dont think the Bush adminstration cares one way another what happens to these reporters or revealing sources. It is true that "they" could have put a CIA operative in danger of being killed, but this adminstration is not crying over the reporters going to jail. I dont think the adminstration is worried about any trail leading back to someone important at this point. At least that is the clear feelings of the male reporter who will not reveal his source(s) and very well could end up in jail.

My big problem is reporting that is so biased as to be laughable. CNN "reporting" the news thru Lou Dobbs (these are editorials). And Fox... bad.
Actually I listened to Fox this morning and they actually grilled Cheney to the point he did not answer questions. I thought they would just give him the Soap Box, but they did not. Cheney appears to have a different agenda than the president and they pointed this out with lots of back tape. I officially declare Cheney out of touch after that interview. I cant see how the military can work with this guy after the way he came off today. His own words, thats what I want. Good solid interview. Very rare.
