My husband sent me this- I find it fairly disturbing that the administration thinks this is an appropriate use of their power: I've seen that around some blogs today as I was in and out of the house. Here's the paragraph, just skimming, that struck me. Because it's Gergen saying it. Not one of us wild eyed liberal types. ;-) "This is the first administration that I can remember, including Nixon's, that said we need to think about a law that would put journalists who print national security things up in front of grand juries and put them in jail if they don't reveal their sources," says David Gergen, who served as President Regan's director of communication and also worked in the Nixon and Ford White Houses. I think it's important to note that Gergen specifies it as "this administration;" to see it as something the Bush folk are doing. Not some generic, abstract entity, called "the government." As for what I've been doing today rather than read SI threads, it's a national security issue. Not talking. ;-)
