Well, we are now seeing why [the Wikileaks grand jury] is so important: at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on July 11th, some members of Congress made it clear they also want New York Times journalists charged under the Espionage Act for their recent stories on President Obama’s ‘Kill List’ and secret US cyberattacks against Iran. During the hearing, House Republicans “pressed legal experts Wednesday on whether it was possible to prosecute reporters for publishing classified information,” according to the Los Angeles Times.
Sounds like Republicans wanna defend President Obama, could it be? Could it possibly be that the Republicans aren't any different than the Democrats? Nah, couldn't be. :rolleyes:
