Case in point: James Risen, the reporter who broke the warrantless wiretapping story and who is now fighting to not go to jail <A href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/01/washington/01inquire.html?_r=5&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=login">after being subpoenaed to reveal his sources</A>.  Rick Karr looks at how the Bush administration has consistently sought to squelch journalists and whistleblowers like Risen, Sibel Edmonds, and even Talking Points Memo.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/03/17/bill-moyers-journal-going-after-the-whistleblowers/"><P> <A href="http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/03142008/watch2.html">The entire episode</A> (including an interview with Rep.
