3. she said the gov't is too powerful.

[Garbo 2004]

4. That quote's been taken out of context. It's from her statement to judge

and clearly is in regards the first amendment issues she claims to be protecting:

"If journalists cannot be trusted to guarantee confidentiality, then journalists cannot function and there cannot be a free press. Your honor, I believe that a free press depends now more than ever on people willing to express their views, particularly those in government. From my experience, and the experience of investigative journalists like me, I know that many of these people in government will not talk to reporters if we cannot be trusted to protect their identity. The risks are too great; the government is too powerful; the country is too polarized."
