DENMARK: LEAKER SENTENCED; JOURNALISTS GO FREE

Copenhagen: Journalists from Berlingske were aquitted today for printing classified information. No proof was provided that the publicized information damaged the interests of Denmark.

Meanwhile, the intelligence officer who did break the law (by leaking the information) - Frank Grevil - has already been sentenced to spend 4 months in a prison.

For those of you who don't recall - the case has to do with prewar intelligence vis a vis Saddam's WMD. And that whole WMD argument- if you ask me - is a total waste of time: the enemy has got more than just WMD - they have a dangerous ideology - and they are our declared enemies! Thankfully some of us are fortunate to live in countries with human rights, and courts of law.
