I’m afraid that Jedbab has let the buck stop one place short of the head of the table by suggesting that action against traitorous leakers, reporters, editors, and publishers “all comes down to Alberto Gonzales.”
Despite the media’s common bestowal of the title upon the Attorney General, Mr. Gonzales is not in fact the “Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States.” Under the Constitution, that title belongs to another man — the President.
President Bush should direct his Attorney General and his Justice Department to get to work immediately. And he should promptly fire anyone who balks.

We lay “so costly a sacrifice on the altar of freedom.” And if things should happen to spiral downward, the New York Times will be the first to say, “Hey, it wasn’t my fault.” br> —
