Lets Have A Few Questions Answered Before We Jump To Conclusions:What Was The DOJ Investigating?....

Holder says a "very serious leak". Now lets explore the leak. Is this a National Security issue? Did the DOJ find the leaker in this investigation yet? Is the investigation on-going? If an AP reporter is in fact caught in this DOJ investigation as a leaker - is this a treasonous act? Don't we want to protect ourselves against such National Security leaks that may put Americans at risk? Isn't that one of the reasons things like the Patriot Act was passed? Didn't the Patriot Act get passed in a flash right after 9/11 by the Bush Administration?

That is just intimidation.

And no.... using the excuse about protecting us is just that. It is an excuse to violate the basic principles of our constitution.

People here are so invested in being "even-handed" that they're not even willing to get all the facts before coming to a conclusion.

For some reason, they are simply not able to make a strong case for anything, even when they are right. Those mean old Republicans and the media just want to pick on us...
