Thanks, Markie for passing along this article on the blog. ;-) Very interesting interview with the Rugby Man and professor Jack Doppelt concerning the shild law for journalists. This is still on contraversy. There is still the debate on the public's right to know vs. what Fitz says the government's needs to protect classified information and that free press needs a balance with truth and honest justice system.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and professor Jack Doppelt discuss if reporters need federal legal protection from being forced to reveal their sources.
Jack Doppelt is a professor at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, and a faculty associate at Northwestern's Institute for Policy Research. He is also editor and publisher of On the Docket, a website on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Fitz is looking at this from a lawyers point of view. The new DOJ is handling problems that has never been part of our Justice System. We now have criminal running the DOJ. Journalist are now employed by the White House and their is now law of Justice. So will a Journalist be required to tell on his boss of the crimes of the Bush Administration.
First we have to get an honest Attorney General who works for the people and Justice. I say just tell the truth.
