"New York Times reporter James Risen, who is fighting an order that he testify in the trial of Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA officer accused of leaking information to him, opened the conference earlier by saying the Obama administration is the greatest enemy of press freedom that we have encountered in at least a generation. The administration wants to narrow the field of national security reporting, Risen said, to create a path for accepted reporting. Anyone journalist who exceeds those parameters, Risen said, will be punished.
The administrations aggressive prosecutions have created a de facto Official Secrets Act, Risen said, and the media has been too timid in responding."
