Journalist Shield Law

Ever since the state department started tapping AP Journalists phones, the AP has lost a lot of credibility with a lot of potential sources. That is why the Journalist Shield law needs to be reintroduced in congress because news organizations are not going to have leads. I understand they tapped the phones to find a leaks but are seriously going to give up our civil liberties for national security. I think we all have to put this saying in our mind "all we have to fear is fear itself" by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
