I kind of agree that if the journalist is breaking the law by disclosing the info, there should be no privilege and both should go to jail.

If the IRS agent discloses the info and the journalist publishes it, they should both go to jail. Same goes for the person that disclosed the name of the CIA agent and the journalist that published it. They should both go to jail.

I also think journalists should be required to disclose a source when it may lead to the apprehension of a person that committed a felony. Then again, that is about the only time that a journalist would be asked to testify about a source under oath. This is a tough subject.
