Poll: msnbc: do you think time magazine is doing the right thing

[orleans]

by revealing its source

vote now!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7545983/

the totals are 50-50%

(maybe we'll be able to put kkkarl in jail after all, eh?)

[quaoar]

1. I voted no

Time is selling out its own reporter. They should be ashamed.

[ClassWarrior]

10. To paraphrase Fitzgerald, they're not protecting a whistleblower...

...they're protecting a criminal who retaliated against a whistleblower. (Okay, I added the "criminal" part.)

2. It's now 49%, Yes, 51% no (n/t)

3. I guess I'm torn on this... If it will put an end to this BS and finger

Bush an Company for the obvious I'd like to see it.

Otherwise I think they should not...

7. bush (41) (poppy) had once said that anyone outing

cia was "the most insidious of traitors".

how ironic would it be if it was his kid that made the phone calls to novak, miller, cooper, etc--and we charge this "president" with treason?

[JRob]

9. That would be very tasty indeed...

[ClassWarrior]

12. "BLOWING THE COVER" - not "outing"!!!

We're talking about a CIA AGENT, not a drag queen!!

NGU.

[orleans]

14. yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever

drag queens, secret agents, lesbians

"v. out·ed, out·ing, outs
v. intr.
To be disclosed or revealed; come out: Truth will out."

besides, i meant it as an excursion such as going on a little outing/picnic in the afternoon on saturday. :P :P :P :P

(not!)

[ClassWarrior]

11. It's a trick question. Reporters shouldn't have to release the names...

...of whistleblowers. But this was a criminal who was retaliating on a whistleblower. Ignore MSRNC.

NGU.

[JRob]

13. I hear you...

[CityDem]

4. Time is looking at a hefty fine

Corporate whores do not want to pay the fine -- expect them to cave for financial reasons.

[flpoljunkie]

5. Yes. TIME is protecting scum treasonous WH leakers, not whistleblowers.

[Lochloosa]

6. I voted yes...and here is why

The source BROKE the law, IMO committed treason by outing Plame. There is a world of difference in say...Deep Throat, who was outing people that had COMMITTED crimes. If the source is directing you toward someone doing bad, then they should be protected at all cost.

[meppie-meppie not]

8. ditto!!!
