#1 I think this is a good thing because in the end, it will show that the reporters shouldn't have extra protections than you or I. I'm not sure I like the idea of people being able to leak classified secrets or trade secrets or personal privacy secrets as anonymous sources without being held responsible for what they print - but that's a fine mess indeed.

This is a bummer for the NYT staff - cause we can do to them what they can do to us. heh.
