#1 blah, blah, blah. Reporters are making the mistake thinking that we somehow care more about them and how IMPORTANT they are than we care about ourselves. Wrong choice.

Expect more of these blathering, excessive word whiney missives which cause extreme boredom in everyone but the authors and their editors. Note to reporters - you get the megaphone to tell us how important you are - but we don't care, we're not reading past the first couple of sentences and your circulation numbers are collapsing.

#2 "Although there is still freedom of speech, it is not entirely free. There is a price," he told AP.

It never was entirely free. I just love the retroactive myth-making of the LLLs. Like Michael Moore's Dude, Where's My Country? BS. I seem to remember he wasn't too enamored of his country back in the day either.

#3 I think we should prosecute the leakers. Of course, the best way to find the leakers would be to ask the reporters (Lichtblau, Risen, et al.) who told them about the SWIFT program. When they say they don't have to tell because they promised their sources anonymity, they should be thrown in jail until they do tell. Either they will tell, or rot in jail forever. They have NO 1st Amendment privilege that says they can hide their sources.
