re: Why do you say that? Freedom of speech is guaranteed in the first amendment, not freedom to hide criminal behavior. "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom...of the press." It's a fine line. If a reporter has to reveal their "off the record" confidential sources to the government, then they soon won't have any sources, especially in the government. And it hasn't been proved that her source engaged in criminal behaviour. Innocent until proven guilty. It can certainly be argued either way. My inclination is to preserve freedoms rather than relinquish them, when there is a good argument on both sides. In this case I would dearly love to know her source. And those that say she is protecting a person and not her profession by going to jail are just plain wrong. John
