Pulitzer Prize Winners "Worthy of Jail"

Bill Bennett commented on the recently named Pulitzer (read: American Last) Prize winners and said that three of them are "worthy of jail."

...Bill Bennett said that the reporters "took classified information, secret information, published it in their newspapers, against the wishes of the president, against the request of the president and others, that they not release it. They not only released it, they publicized it -- they put it on the front page, and it damaged us, it hurt us.

"As a result are they punished, are they in shame, are they embarrassed, are they arrested? No, they win Pulitzer prizes - they win Pulitzer prizes. I don't think what they did was worthy of an award - I think what they did is worthy of jail, and I think this investigation needs to go forward. "

Powerline also had a great post on the subject: "The Pulitzer Prize for Treason."
