"Reporters Without Borders" definitely have an axe to grind.
America couldn't come in first if every american was provided with their own blog at government expense.
Funny how these one-worlders are horrified that Judith Miller was jailed for not providing testimony about the Plame leak, but these same one-worlders will gleefully use the fruits of that contempt-of-court proceedings to attack the White house.

The arrogance you should be talking about is the arrogance of an administration who leaked the name of a covert CIA agent's identity, endangering her life and everyones she had worked with, and then these same bufoons tells us their looking out for national security, now thats arrogance, expecting someone to believe that when the idiots can't even keep top secret information secret.

Maybe we would be talking about this if this thread were about the Plame case. Since this thread is about free press ratings by Reporters without Borders, perhaps we should stick to talking about that topic. You didn't just start this topic as an avenue to bash the Bush administration, did you?
BTW, ever notice how (assuming you believe the MILLION or so conspiracy theories about the GOP) these so-called "idiots" in the administration managed to pull so many over on the Democrats, managed to win at the polls again and again? What does that say about the intellect of the Democrats? If a group is consistently beaten by idiots, is that an indication that the they are even bigger idiots? Just something those folks who like to call Bush and his cronies "idiots" should think about.

That's a journalist's folly. To give the name of a source would be breaking the probable confidentiality she promised. So did Judith stick to her morals? And if she did give the name of her source away, what then? ASSASSINATION I TELL YA! I am interested though, that they still don't know who the reporter's source is, do you think she made it up? Probebly not, because the President's men all got in a huff and puff. Despite all the money spent on intellegence, they still cannot get this person. Does anyone think that the person could still be working in government affairs?
Ahh, refreshing paranoia. Is Karl Rove still in the cabinet?
