National Press Club and WikiLeaks @pressclubdc #cablegate

Just bumped into Alan Bjerga, president of the National Press Club. Asked him about WikiLeaks. He said the Press Club had not done anything. He said that when asked, he has said WikiLeaks has acted irresponsibly, that it might endanger lives, but they are a media operation. Bjerga was somehow vague about what First Amendment protection stemmed from that. I noted that the Press Club did quite a bit as I remembered for propagandist Judith Miller. He said he was opposed to that, that he wasn't Press Club president at the time. He then rather swiftly headed out of the lounge. Someone with time and good intentions should do a full interview with him and other heads of press institutions at this time about WikiLeaks and the First Amendment.
