Well, it will certainly be interesting how the “Press” will be dealt with concerning the WikiLeaks issue. As a journalist I can see the temptation to publish some of the documents, however, I don’t think it will serve the greater good for our profession. So close to a new Shield Law that may now be compromised by the actions of those publications posting the documents. I believe we may have won a very small victory at the cost of the war. The public in general will see this as one more reason not to trust the press. Imagine trying to get confidential information from a source who will be more than ever wondering when he/she will be sold down the river by the journalist or his publication.

Thoughts?
