So it goes - National Suicide by Pulitzer

To think that the Main Stream Media would exercise any kind of restraint in deciding whether to report critically sensitive information relating to the War on Islam (AKA terrorism) is of course a pipe dream that the current administration continues to engage in. All the media types are looking to get that Pulitzer Prize at the expense of this country's security. I have also heard suggestions, which I also agree with, that the government has to more aggressively go after the sources (apparatchik leakers) of confidential/secret information.

We hand the terrorists our game plan on how to cut off their financial backing and hold the press blameless (because of their sacred 1st Amendment rights) and also hold the sources harmless. We of course have only ourselves to blame because we do not strictly enforce the law. Egregious past examples of convicted spies (in the FBI, CIA, the military, etc.) who sold out this country solely for money being sentenced to rather light prison terms have set the expectation that one can say anything without fear of any consequence greater than a slap on their wrist. Unless and until the leakers are prosecuted and sentenced to long hard jail terms if not stood up against a wall and shot, the mongrel MSM will continue to feast upon vitally secret information and defecate it as news for the whole world to see and our enemies to use against us.
