What do you call it when, ” Two San Francisco Chronicle reporters were sentenced to a maximum 18 months in prison…”. A good start.

While they are at it, the Feds should lock up all the rest of the San Francisco Chronicle‘s “journalsts”. After all, “guilt by association” (see Jack Abramoff) and special prosecutor witch-hunts (see the Valerie Plame case) are the MSM’s favorite reply to conservatives. How about giving them a heapin’ helpin’ of their own medicine?

I agree with Severian. I think Bill Keller should be doing prison time right along side these guys.

Why? Mark Twain answered that question long ago with: You “Never argue with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.”

Wonderful. Not that I think these two don’t deserve to get jail time for what they did, leaking grand jury testimony and publishing it. But, and it’s a big but, where is the similar justice for those who leaked and published critical national security information, such as the NYT and their stories on NSA telecommunications surveillance and terrorist finance tracking? Why is it that we can get serious about someone leaking and publishing something as basically insignificant as information about steroids in baseball and not get as upset and serious about leaks that damage national security?
