FBI's Stuxnet investigation to target journalists?. (VIDEO)

US and Israel released secret STUXNET computer virus on Iran and now FBI will investigate journalist to find leak (VIDEO)


The unprecedented number of leaks of classified information was one of the issues that plagued the Obama Administration during its first term. Perhaps the highest profile leak was that of a joint US - Israeli computer virus that attacked Iran's nuclear power plants and-- more specifically-- its uranium enrichment facilities.

Stuxnet, as it came to be called, has now resulted in a massive federal investigation into the source of the leaks.

Federal investigators are tapping the emails and phones of all officials familiar with the case in order to find the leaker.

To do that, they are looking into the communications these people had with any and all journalists during that time. What does this investigation mean for the rights of journalists? Kevin Gosztola Blogger at Firedoglake joins us with some answers.
