There is no question that there are more restrictions coming down. There is rampant secrecy in both federal and state courtrooms.

That's exactly where we're headed. We're going to see a situation where to report to the public what's going on is ultimately going to lead to leaks investigations. . . . That's enormously troublesome.

While we’ve always had a certain number of federal prosecutors going after journalists, we’re seeing a different type of phenomenon — the federal employee who’s been wronged. If you can somehow compel the journalists to be agents of discovery, it’s going to have a chilling effect, ... This is very troubling.

We're delighted that the Knight Foundation has recognized the valuable contributions the Reporters Committee has made to the public's right to know. Reporters all over the country will benefit from the continuation and expansion of the programs this grant will support.

The Supreme Court has said that criminal proceedings are public. In this country, we don't prosecute and lock up convicts and have no public track record of how we got there. That violates the defendants' rights not to mention the public's right to know what it's court system is doing.

When you have more and more information being classified, and more and more secrets being kept, the only way reporters can get information is when internal whistleblowers provide it. And that drives this administration crazy.

This is pretty much exactly where I thought we would be a year ago when all of this started to happen.

I'm not aware of any previous government attempt to retrieve such material. Librarians and historians are having a fit, and I can't imagine a bigger chill to journalists.

More reporters should consider doing that.

Journalists who cover national security and defense receive classified information all the time. It's virtually routine. If that were the standard for bringing an espionage case, we'd be locking up a lot of people in this town and there would be fewer sources of information.
