Rep. King Calls for Prosecuting the NYT

Today on Fox News Sunday Rep. Pete King of New York, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, called on the Attorney General to investigate and prosecute the New York Times for disclosing a classified espionage program to the public.

I completely agree with Rep. King. Unfortunately, I doubt the administration will pursue this. It would be a bruising battle against the mainstream media, but it's the right thing to do to protect our nation.

This is a necessary discussion which our country urgently needs to have: Do members of the press have special rights allowing them to commit crimes for which ordinary citizens would be prosecuted?

Clarice Feldman of The American Thinker also urges the Attorney General to prosecute.

And don't miss Saturday's Washington Times editorial, "The Right Not to Know."
