On the AP-Justice Department Story
John Yoo · May 14, 2013 at 12:09am
The Justice Department's seizure of the AP's phone records shows that this
administration cares far more about power than political and civil liberty.
It has intruded on the freedom of the press in ways that the allegedly
power-hungry Bush Administration would never have dreamed.
When the Bush administration was wracked with the leaks of classified
information about its counter-terrorism policies, most notably its
interrogation and electronic surveillance programs, Democrats in Congress
happily took advantage of the information. Nary a peep was heard about
protecting national security and preventing the media from publishing
classified information.
But now President Obama has to live in the leak-happy world that he and his
colleagues created to undermine the last administration. And they don't like
it. Unlike the Bush administration, however, they are willing to go to
lengths that threaten the freedom of the press to stop it -- this
administration has conducted far more investigations and prosecutions for
leaking than its predecessors. And, for the most part, this administration
has gotten away with it from the press, which has given them a pass on civil
liberties compared to how they treated Republicans.
I deplore the Obama administration's assault on freedom of the press. But I
have no sympathy for the AP or the mainstream media, because this is how you
get treated when you are in a politician's pocket. If the AP's editors and
reporters and their colleagues at other newspapers had been more adversarial
toward this President, as they were with President Bush, they would been
treated with far more respect. The AP should wish for a return of the days
of a Republican administration, which considered the press a worthy
adversary, rather than a servant to be mistreated at will. | r******g
