Dave:
Let me get this straight. The President is not guilty of violating
the law
by ordering wire taps, because they are "legal" given some
understanding of
Congress' Iraq resolution. But, the NYT might be guilty of treason for
divulging the, presumably legal, actions of the President.
22 years later than Orwell predicted.

The noble Harvey Silverglate has suggested in the Boston Phoenix that
the
NY Times could well be put on trial for publishing news that
violated US
national security. Now comes another suggestion along the same lines
from
the conservative Powerline blog:

All the Powerline guys are lawyers, so their perspective can be given
some
weight.
