Apologies if this has been covered before; ran a search and couldn't find any mention.
If true, this is a little scary.

I was going to do a right-wing extremist parody celebrating this. . . then I read some of the incredibly ignorant and shortsighted pro-fascism comments at the ABC blog.
It's not funny when they will out-crazy any parody I could whip up. Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :
You're right: they are pretty scary
quote:Good! I hope they do find out who is leaking national security info to the press. I'm tired of the press helping our enemies. Maybe you guys should start trying to "FOR the USA" instead of "AGAINST the USA" ALL THE TIME. I hope the FBI nails lots of idiots who are out to destroy the intelligence agencies and cost us more soldiers and spys!
quote:good, you seditionist creeps deserve what you get. who knows how many serviceman have died because of your "right to know"
quote:well maybe ABC news better stop leaking classified information. This only helps our enemies and right now I believe ABC news is an enemy of the US.
this is scary too:
quote:i cant wait till the democrats get back in power and start cracking down and tracking all the rightwing thugs and some of the commenters found here. some people are so dumb and shortsighted and have ZERO understanding of the rule of law, the constitution, and civil rights.

So we don't know if the government has subpoenas or warrants to do this. We do know that someone has leaked the details of a criminal investigation to one of the people being investigated.
OK. I think maybe I'll wait for some more information before getting outraged.

Reasonable enough. But I do find the idea that tools alleged to be for combatting terrorism are instead being used to intimidate reporters disturbing.
