Throw Novak in Jail

Eugene Volokh of the Volokh conspiracy agrees with Bob - throw Novak in jail.

Any journalists' privilege must extend to bloggers, but you can't give everyone with broadband access a get-out-of-jail-free card. So instead, condition the privilege on the nature of the leak. If the leak makes the journalist an accessory to a crime, then poof! No privilege.

From his NYT Op-Ed today.
