I've got mixed sentiments on the reporter ruling.
The Times has railed against Bushitler for the last five years. Now they think they live in a free country?
The Supremes' ruling is a bad one, but couldn't have happened to better people.
As a blogger, I'd like to be able to claim the same privileges here at my little press. I doubt the Times would file on our behalf if we were in the same situation, but I'd like to think we're bigger people here than the folks at SnobCentral.
The tough thing here is that the Times always wants to stand up to the evil government this or that, but they don't want consequences. I'm free to not pay my taxes to protest the war in Nicaragua, Iraq, Germany, wherever, too. But that freedom includes the freedom to rot in jail as a prisoner of conscience if I do.
I think I'd order the reporters jailed until they agreed to kick Joe Wilson in the crotch real hard for making such a fuss. I'm not sure it's justice, but it's good enough for me.
