| Yet another serious escalation of the Obama administration's attacks on press freedoms emerges
(updated below)
It is now well known that the Obama justice department has prosecuted more government leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined - in fact, double the number of all such prior prosecutions.

Obama punches back

16.5.2013 |
CNN: Top Stories |
| And in this corner, counter-punching furiously to prevent a series of potential scandals from overwhelming his second-term agenda, is the still reigning Washington political heavyweight -- President Barack Obama. With a trio of moves, the suddenly beleaguered president fought back Wednesday against Republican attacks that his administration defied accountability for controversies involving IRS targeting of conservative groups, the secret subpoena of journalists' phone records and erroneous talking points in the immediate aftermath of last year's Benghazi terrorist attack. |
