Isn't asking Eric Holder to review JD guidelines sort of like asking the
fox to guard the henhouse?

Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search
warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a �possible
co-conspirator� in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized
seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News
on Thursday.
The disclosure of the attorney general�s role came as President Barack
Obama, in a major speech on his counterterrorism policy, said Holder had
agreed to review Justice Department guidelines governing investigations
that involve journalists.
"I am troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the
investigative journalism that holds government accountable," Obama said.
"Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs."
