Iran is a judge talking to reporter Jason Rezaian. Iran: You say you're a reporter, but that's no defense here against the serious crime of... reporting.
I dunno. This one doesn’t work for me. The logic’s unsound. If something’s a crime, doing it for a living doesn’t make it okay. If we replace ‘reporter’ and ‘reporting’ with ‘assassin’ and ‘assassinating’, it immediately loses its persuasive edge.That’s not to say I agree with the judge here; I merely do not think this a good critique of a major injustice.

Bergdahl, while a regrettable trade, was indeed traded so there would be “no man left behind.”He will get his hearing/trial.

Yeah, it’s not like our government would prosecute someone for publishing things they’d rather not be known.
