Okay. So i think what this case illustrates in the broader trends that we were talking about are some threats to press freedom, but i think its important to put that into a global context. And there are many countries, including russia, that have far worse press freedom records and where journalists are imprisoned, journalists are killed and their murders are never investigated. Indeed, in most cases of george journalist murders, nine out of ten are never investigated. Several outstanding in russia as well. We have to keep this in perspective. I mean, there are threats certainly to the free practice of journalism. Luckily we live in a country that has rule of law and due process. In many countries those things are missing. Lets keep this in perspective and not let this become an excuse for say authoritarian governments to use in their crackdown on press freedom. Just in the same light, nor should we let the fact that authoritarian regimes exist give us an excuse to brow beat journalist
I have to think about that for a minute. I just came here, really, today, to thank everybody involved with this. I was not involved with this petition drive at all. And anybody who knows me knows i couldnt organize a onecar funeral. The fact that this has happened just leaves me speechless. And the main thing that gets to me is i realize i dont deserve all this. But i also know its really not about me. Its about some basic issues that affect all journalists and all americans. You know, when the my lawyers always tell me never to talk about my case. But theres a couple of things i can say. And one is that the Justice Department and the Obama Administration are the ones who turn this really into a fundamental fight over press freedom in their appeal to the Fourth Circuit. They said this that this c e case, the central issue of this case was not some details or specifics or anything. That the fundamental thing this case was about was that there was no such thing as a reporters privilege.
