Whistle blowing

It seems that the Times will have another First Amendment fight on their hands. The Cheney administration is trying to blow smoke and hide the fact that they're acting illegally by demanding an investigation into the leak that uncovered the NSA's wiretapping. But unlike protecting a source who used the paper to try to disparage a political rival, the Times has a real whistleblower to protect this time.

Investigate away. Meanwhile, the DoJ should investigate whether or not the president has, in fact, broken any laws, and Congress should investigate as well. It'll be an investigatepalooza! They will help keep this story stay in the newspapers. And I predict that the more people learn about what Bush authorized -- and continues to authorize -- the less they'll like it.
