I reel in revulsion Lieberman (you remember Bush’s bitch.), and Feinstein invoked the 1917 Espionage Act against Julian Assanage and The New York Times. This is an assault on the people. It is a pure and simplean attack on civil liberties, an act of revenge for embarrassing the powers that be.

Assange with Wikki leaks are only doing what main stream “journalist” are supposed to be doing. To Lieberman and Feinstein I offer Jefferson "The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787. ME 6:57

This is not the first time this has happened does the senate not remember the pentagon papers? The Times’ won that, round, and I expect that the case will be cited and affirmed if taken to trial. NEW YORK TIMES CO. v. UNITED STATES, 403 U.S. 713 (1971)
