We're Watching You...
Well, the Attorney General of the United States has announced that the government can prosecute reporters for reporting on anything that happens to have had "National Security" stamped on it. Of course, whether this actually harms America (the outing of the CIA agent who was working on nuclear intelligence in Iran) or not (aspying on thousands of American citizens with a wiretap system that is, in effect, useless) doesn't seem to matter.
So, the US government's contempt of the press has gone from "seething" to "open." Let's see how the press responds.
