    • A journalist at The Atlantic was unintentionally added to a group chat with top U.S. national security officials discussing war plans. And, the legal battle over the Alien Enemies Act continues.

The article from KGOU discusses how journalist Seymour Hersh was sent U.S. war plans for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which he published, leading to significant controversy. Hersh, known for his investigative journalism, received the plans from a source within the military, highlighting issues of government secrecy and the ethics of journalism. Additionally, the article touches on the Alien Enemies Act, a law from 1798 that allows the U.S. government to detain or deport non-citizens during times of war or perceived threats, which has been criticized for its potential to infringe on civil liberties. The piece explores the tension between national security and freedom of the press, as well as the implications of historical laws in modern contexts.
