Issue:NPR : Attacks on Cooper, Miller are Attacks on Press:

Specific:"NPR Senior News Analyst Daniel Schorr says that the case of Matthew Cooper and Judith Miller, two journalists ordered to reveal confidential sources, amounts to a full-fledged attack on the press."


Comment:The logic he uses is quite reasonable. According to the Government - 3 writers know who made the leak.
2 have cooperated with the government. Yet, the Republican controlled Government is putting the 3rd into jail.

The obeservation is that they are not seeking the truth. They are seeking to punish.

Is there a reason to pursue the rule of law once the truth is known and justice is served? What relevant information could the third writer have that is not in the record already?
