Mr. Williams was off script. It wasn't politically convenient for FOX News to actually have a logical and legitimate point of view voiced by a man once fired by NPR. It would seem as though Mr. Williams simply can't find 'sea legs' with anyone. I can relate. It is difficult to be a person of moral conviction and love of their country, isn't it?
Strange bedfellows about within this dynamic, Mr. Williams. If I may?
The Huffington Post made a more than accurate and concise observation. It stated thath Mr. James Rosen DECIDED to cross the red line.
Basically, it was one infraction of national security for anyone that close to the CIA to actually leak information for political purposes (Desperate times require desperate actions, I suppose.) that would compromise an agent, USA national security and the security of allies, but, it is an entirely different issue to realize there was a journalist cooperating with such dangerous dynamics.
No one is doubting James Rosen was not the person who found the information, it would be more than interesting if that was the case. But, with any journalist there are many decisions along the way in order to have information and opinion published.
There was the decision by the leaker to make the decision to compromise the nation, there was the decision by the journalist to write the article, there was the decision by the editor(s) to actually publish it and there was the CEO that stood by it. So, to say the problem belongs only to AG Holder is scapegoating the good man. That is all this is about AG Holder, Mr. Williams. He is being scapegoated because there are serious infractions of the law within this issue.
I appreciate your voice. May it continue to carry the truth and the need for attention to our nation's national security and that of our allies. Your personal security, my personal security, the personal security of every person in this country may actually count on it. Thank you.

The Justice Department (click here) has been getting hammered in (and by) the press over a leak investigation involving the seizure of emails from the personal gmail account of James Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. The criticism has focused on the revelation, contained in a 2010 FBI affidavit used to obtain a search warrant, that the government then viewed Rosen not merely as a witness, someone who possessed evidence about the source of a national security leak, but as an indictable law-breaker....
