Recent decisions by the courts have led me to think a lot about this. We are a nation built upon freedom. With freedom goes responsibility. When confidentiality means protecting criminals or security leaks I feel that the freedom of the american citizenry takes precedence over individual freedom of the press and its confidentiality.
Look carefully at my original quote. What could the naming of the Pentagon source possibily have to do with compromising sensitive operations? It is the disclosure of the information itself that endangers the operation.
