Vainly attempting to drag the thread back on track.
Leaving aside the gung-ho aspects of the initial example, there is an important question to be debated - namely:
Situation:

Questions:
How to reduce the intelligence gathering capabilities without actually slotting journos?
Or
Because they assist the enemy are they fair game?
Jacko - care to comment?
