Yes More Secrets

A small group of senators have drafted a bill that would make it illegal to talk about illegal spying. In other words, it would be illegal for the press to have disclosed the illegal NSA wiretapping that has created a huge backlash against President Bush personally and his administration as a whole. The bill authors claim reporters would be exempt, but the wording does not seem to indicate that. Plus, individuals who pass on that information could still be prosecuted. That means me, for example, writing about it in my blog or passing a news article on to a friend.
