Gonzales is right that it is premature to talk about going after the Times directly, for a number of reason. But I don’t see why the reporters involved in breaking these stories shouldn’t be subpoenaed to reveal their sources. Some have argued that these leaks haven’t been particularly damaging, and I hope they’re right. But surely no one will argue with a straight face that they’ve been less damaging than the outing of Valerie Plame.
