Eye Opener
Imagine my surprise to open my paper this morning and read this article about a leaked secret memo detailing plans to reduce troop levels in Iraq. Here we are fighting a war, American soldiers are dying, civilians are at risk, and newspapers are splashing war plans across their front pages. Tell me again how the press should have an absolute right to protect sources. Tell me again that the press is always looking out for my best interests.

We welcome comments. However, use no profanity and be civil.
I get the same feeling when I read reports that Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic are going to be taken into custody within the next 48 hours. Then nothing.
Don't tell me ahead of time!!! All you're doing is sending a very public warning to the circle of people that protects these criminals! Duh.
