50. "Novak did NOT break the law by publishing it."
True, he did not break the 'agent outing' sections of the law, which was wisely written to protect journalists.

However, he may have broken section(s) of the unPatriot Act, which was unwisly written and produced awesome governmental power to hie poor 'innocents' like Nofacts off to Gitmo, never to be seen again.

I would still be opposed to punishing journalists thus, even under the unPatriot Act, but hey, they wrote it at the behest of Nofacts' friends. Maybe a little bluff prosecution of flecky Bob would bring them to their senses and get that abomination extensively amended.
