Judith Miller Government Quotations

There is a full-scale assault by the federal government now on journalists in order to get at people who disclose classified information.

If a journalist cannot be trusted to guarantee confidentiality, the journalist cannot function and there cannot be a free press. The freest and fairest societies are not only those with independent judiciaries, but those with an independent press that works every day to keep government accountable by publishing what the government might not want the public to know.
