I didn't read the article, but I've heard nothing about him targeting _the journalist_ for prosecution. They are trying to target the leaker for disseminating classified information, and got a warrant to search the email account of the person he leaked to. By far the best part of this whole affair has been the journalistic pearl-clutching, as if they would be immune the the same laws permitting such invasions of privact that they covered being passed without uttering a peep. But if a bunch of college students or people with a suspiciously non-caucasian complexion have the same thing happen to them then its fine.

  "Rosen, who has not been charged in the case, was nonetheless the target of a search warrant" From the article. So in spite of not reading the article, their comment was correct. You do know that it is believed that someone died as a result of this leak?

    That would be this search warrant: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2013/05/20/court-documents-in-leak-case-involving-fox-news-journalist/ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2013/05/20/court..., page 26, number 46: "Based on the above, there is probable cause to believe that the Reporter (along with Mr. Kim [the prosecuted government employee]) has committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 789(d) either as Mr. Kim's co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor..." which continues with the email account to be searched, more justification, etc. Unprecedented in recent history going back to at least the Pentagon Papers?

      Someone leaked top secret information that may have led to the death of a high level North Korean administrator that was a US intelligence asset. 1.) Should the person be prosecuted 2.) Should the journalist who facilitated the leak of that information be immune to legal search warrants 3.) Should the journalist who facilitated the leak be prosecuted. I believe 1, 2 are yes. 3 is no. I have no idea about recent history, honestly. I don't really care, either.

  I'm not new to here. I just created a throwaway to say a few things in another thread. I didn't read it because I was already familiar with the story. I have never cared so much for the amount of effort involved in things, just the value that said thing provides. Best regards.
