Admitting to infiltrating the "Occupy Wall Street" protest in Washington, DC's Air and Space Museum this past weekend, it is disturbing to find how open and proud a journalist could have been about his involvement in the commission of a crime.

I do see a major difference between the 1960's and 2011. In the 60's I cannot remember a journalist ever admitting to something like this.
This is demonstrates the desperation of the 'right".

Good article, UVA. I just have a problem with the headline. If that guy can be called a journalist, I'm a Pulitzer Prize winner.

"In a post on The American Spectator Web site, Howley said he joined the rush to get past the guards "for journalistic purposes." He said he sneaked past a guard initially, and was hit with pepper spray as he ran toward an exit after he was shoved into a wall during a shoving match between a security guard and a demonstrator he characterized as a "fanatic."
