The Newsroom2012
Sloan Sabbith:
His logic is inconsistent.
Don Keefer:
How?
Sloan Sabbith:
He doesn't believe his source should have leaked classified documents.
Don Keefer:
Neither do I.
Sloan Sabbith:
But, he's unwilling to help law enforcement capture the source by identifying him.
Don Keefer:
He can't. I'd be unwilling, and so would you.
Sloan Sabbith:
I know. But, following that logic, he should also not be willing to broadcast the story. If he believes no one should ever leak because it poses a credible threat, then why is he broadcasting the story?
Don Keefer:
Well, I can't speak for Will, but I will. Uh, this leak he believes is a good leak. What he's very reasonably worried about is the bad leak, so he'd prefer there are no leaks.
Sloan Sabbith:
You and Will are making the same unilateral decision you don't want a leaker to make.
Don Keefer:
I trust strangers less than I trust me.
Sloan Sabbith:
Your logic is consistent though horrifying.
Jim Harper:
No one's gonna ever guess you guys are a couple.
