Who belongs in jail?

Here’s a quote from Bill Bennett speaking on Fox News about a reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the NSA’s secret phone tapping of Americans: "How do we know it damaged us? Well, it revealed the existence of the surveillance program - so people are going to stop making calls - since they are now aware of this - they're going to adjust their behavior - Are they punished, are they in shame, are they embarrassed, are they arrested? No, they win Pulitzer prizes - they win Pulitzer prizes - I don't think what they did was worthy of an award - I think what they did was worthy of jail, and I think this investigation needs to go forward..."

Mr. Bennett, how conveniently you ignore the fact that it was the President of the United States who ordered the illegal wiretaps the reporter reported on. And it is the President who has arrogantly boasted about it and has as much as said he will do it again any time he sees fit.

It is the President who is the lawbreaker here.
