Leaker, or leakee? Dumb title but it's my LTTE from last week

The leak was a crime. Why protect the leaker?

Why are so many people, including many journalists, rallying in support of Judith Miller of the New York Times, who went to jail recently?

I would understand the support if she went to jail for protecting an anonymous source who divulged information in the national interest.

This case was clearly the opposite. The leak hurt our country. Now Miller and the Times are positioning this as a press freedom and First Amendment issue and trying to present Miller as some kind of hero.

Not.
