    Major story in the NYT about former CIA officer John C. Kiriakou who is going to jail for providing reporters information and CIA interrogation tactics.

    Well, I always wonder about people who, for example, are referred to as "requested anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss classified information publicly."

    Do the crime, do the time. Classified means classified.

    No. There'll always be people who feel they have to speak out over an injustice and/or have an ax to grind.

    I suspect, though, that it'll be tougher for the next little while to cultivate such sources.
