Members of Congress seem to be playing a game of one-upsmanship in their increasingly hawkish reactions to the NSA leaks. Democrat Dianne Feinstein said whistleblower Edward Snowden committed an act of treason, and now Republican Peter King has decided that any journalists who reported the information leaked by Snowden should face criminal prosecution.

King classifies the private contractor who stole data as a news reporter now? Or does he want all of the cable news dog and pony shows to shut up?
Not that I wouldn't like to see Fox STFU. And treason?
Please explain that to the peanut gallery. Criminal, yes. Treason has lost all meaning since 9/11.
Just ratfucking for 2014, no matter how they spin it.
