Prosecutors obtained a suspect's telephone, credit and bank records. Lucy Dalglish, of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said, 'This tells us the Obama administration will do almost anything to figure out who is leaking government information.'"

    This article is Obama trolling. Why this had an "democrat" icon? It is the US Justice department work, not Obama's or his party. Stop take any thing gouvernemnet do as a partisant act. Also, when Bush was wrong doing, why there was no monkey icon?
