How can it be possible that reporters are jailed or prosecuted for exposing truth in the US?

The Bush administration openly and admittedly broke the law by authorizing unwarranted spying on US citizens, but who gets the prosecution scam? The reporter that broke the story.
Allegedly he put national security in jeopardy by simply telling the American public what was going on. It’s as IF terrorists could do anything with the simple information that the top levels of our government are indeed corrupted.
It isn’t just the Bush administration and his fellow R’s, but the D leadership who by law should be investigating these crimes, but do nothing except applaud all the way to the bank as the reporter is punished for simply doing his job.
So this is what we think of. The evil media, the very same one that defends your rights to free speech and is the very media who keeps you informed of such scandals as Blogovitch or whatever that clowns name in Chicago is and many others, but when they uncover our favorite son’s felonies they must pay?
This is no longer a free press. It’s utter and complete corruption on both sides at the highest levels and we sit by arguing with each others over trivial issues. I no longer believe that these people in Washington have our best interest at heart. I don’t trust a single one of them R nor D and perhaps it’s high time we have a major retooling of our governments because we are no longer represented folks. We are ruled over.
Do you actually buy the idea that the reporter that broke the story also broke the law? If he did I would LOVE to know what law he broke.
For the record, the journalists name, Eric Lichtblau was informed of these crimes by Thomas Tamm a mid-level, career Justice Department lawyer. It was reported in the New York Times in 2004
I never said Americans don’t value freedom. The leadership doesn’t. That’s much different.
Our leadership values their own freedom, power and money. As for the rest of us, here’s a bread crumb… *
The question isn’t about Obama, dumbshlt.
The supremacy clause.. hmm, is that the one that’s in fine print at the bottom of our now defunct constitution?
