morlminority: OK, so what is real if it is all subject to being misinformation? Why waste your time coming down from the ivory tower to talk to the serfs if this is all misinformation? Why is the article written the way it is written if it truly is msiinformation? No one is going to say, "Reporter, you just had 25 high level assets killed by leaking his story." They will play it off as misinformation rather than culpability in sabotoging a sovereign state's "energy" ambitions.

Don't be a coward, define in a spcific instance how a news organization can be a "traitor to democracy" by selling out US Intelligence plans. I am really looking forward to your well thought out response, hopefully devoid of such grade school theatrics as your last response.

Well BarbaryCoast,
News flash--it's not 1945. The Internet exists and that changes a lot. The secrecy of the invasion of Normandy would probably not be possible today. It's a new world, buddy boy.

Also, as others have tried to point out and put reason in your thick little skull, the paranoia of the Iranians believing that the U.S. is behind every corner is probably just as devastating or more devestating to them than the reality of us really secrety sabotaging some of their ill-gotten nuclear equipment. This knife cuts both way, Einstein.

As for ethics, stay in drugs and don't do school. And remember, pymping ain't easy!

johnkick: here's a journalistic ethics question I want you to answer honestly.

It is April 1945 and a Department of War aide leaks to you about a massive invasion of France in May that will hopefully push the Nazi's back but will result in potentially hundreds of thousands of casualties.

Do you go to press with this story?

Are you being a traitor to Democracy if you don't report the story?

This is the decision CBS had to make. If it was the 1940's, they would have been banned from broadcasting had they divulged the plans in a wave of patriotism. Now it's just politics as usual as there is no loyalty in the press to country. Try having a free press in a Sharia law state and see what happens.

The Iranian regime has just as much regard for the Geneva Convention, Human Rights, and history as the Nazis did. They have been groing strident since the Iran hostage crisis and the Lebanese Embassy bombing. How much of a wide berth are we ging to give the Iranians before we regret teh consequences?

[mdubb1971]

Same goes for you buster931! SMACK!

[buster931]

Does the First Amendment to the Constitution allow spying for a declared enemy of the U.S., as long as you do it publicly? (No, you traitors.)

I expect next that CBS will announce that it is funding the development of a nuclear bomb by the Iranians...

Do you really hate the U.S. so much that you will aid decleared enemies of the U.S.? No wonder your news ratings are in the toilet.

God forbid, if Iran were later to use a nuclear device in this country, we can thank CBS, in part.

Do the liberals at CBS magically think that they would be unaffected?

Shiela MacVicar,Ashley Velie and Amy Guttman all need to be arrested,tried for sedicious treason and executed for crimes against this Republic.

*** is mbrogani01 talking about?? There IS no security TS96 for your eyes only TOP SECRET breach here. Get your head outta ur butt and take a breath of fresh air.

[mbrogani01]

If indeed this is a highly classified operation then someone with TS level clearance or above has spilled the beans. That, my friends is treason. However one scenario: because of the dotted lines from intelligence budget(s) to Congress, there are indivudals (hint: senator's aides, kiss *****. wannabes and but most very hard working individuals) who have access to "briefs" regarding ongoing operations. It is some of these individuals who want to have a chip in washington politicals and care absolutely nothing about this country except to further their careers and fill their pockets. These are the sources that give the ink in the pens of the journalists. Those are the people that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent in the law. Oh by the way, the vetting process to get access to "reports" on Senate committes has been a joke. Some of these people couldn't get a regular secret clearance if their lives depend on them but somehow because they are "on staff" they are exempt? We don't need a McCarthyism witch hunt, we just need honest citizens and journalists (and people like Fitzpatrick) to step back and think about disclosure and how that sqaures with being a citizen of the United States and not a citizen of Iran.
