The Oligarch's lost this one. I didn't think that was even possible anymore. A very important victory and affirmation that journalists have their Constitutional Protections intact.

Risen had a serious risk of suffering the fate of Bradley Manning.

Now we have to fight harder. There's a staggering amount of anti-democracy wrongs that need to be righted in these unjust authoritarian neo-gilded ages.
