This cartoon has me pretty worked up.
Perhaps, I am missing the issue here. If the source is actually the person who outed Valerie Plame then the reporters aren't really protecting a source they are protecting a criminal. If, however, the source is someone with first hand knowledge of said criminal then the issue gets a little stickier. But if this person is not the criminal and fears reprisals isn't that why we have a witness protection program?
Though about the press, I would be elated if some of them were as zealous about digging into the corruption in our government system as sports journalists seem to be about tearing into Kenny Rogers for shoving a camera man.
