Freedom of the Press: A New York judge has ruled in favor of reporters Judith Miller and Philip Shenon stating, "The government has failed to demonstrate theat the balance of competing interests weighs in its favor."

Questions have arisen about whether any laws have been broken in the Plame case. The government will not verify that she was an undercover agent. In the words of the New York Times, "[T]he bizarre level of secrecy that still prevents the reporters being threatened with jail from seeing the nine-page blanked-out portion of last week's decision evaluating the evidence," hides from everyone information pertinent to the case. Who are they covering up for? Was the President's name mentioned? Rumsfield? Tricky Dick Chaney? Nine pages! The Brown Shirts are at it again.
