Lebell,
I hope you noticed the bio of the person who wrote that column:
Victoria Toensing was chief counsel to the Senate intelligence committee from 1981 to 1984 and served as a deputy assistant attorney general in the Reagan administration. Bruce Sanford is a Washington lawyer specializing in First Amendment issues.
Ya think she might be a bit biased? At any rate, that was not a news report, it was an opinion piece with as much weight as any opinion piece. It is not a report from a reporter.
