Reporters in Uranium Story May See Charges

Federal authorities are considering criminal charges against ABC News reporters who smuggled harmless depleted uranium into the country past Homeland Security screeners for a second straight year for an investigative piece on lax border security.

"We believe ABC News may have broken the law, and we are pursuing the appropriate course of action," Homeland Security Department spokesman Dennis Murphy said. "It is a question whether or not journalists should be breaking the law in the pursuit of a news story. It's not right for a reporter to rob a bank to prove the bank has lax security."

.........question- Does Law Enforcement (the supposed UPHOLDERS of the law) "break the law" when they infiltrate drug gangs and in the process of that infiltration in order to gain "trust", buy and sell drugs???

This attack on ABC News is nothing more than an attempt to SHUT DOWN ANY ATTEMPT BY ANY NEWS AGENCY TO ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOB IN EXPOSING THE GOVERNMENT TO BE CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT OR BOTH, USING THE THREAT OF PROSECUTION TO DESTROY THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.

but if it's Fox news you've got a scoop.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Whatever happened to the Faux guy charged with smuggling Iraqi art?
