the New York Times for this timely disclosure of American military secrets. There’s not a whole lot here to work from but obviously there is a big fat leak or six over at DOD.
I don’t believe in government censorship, but out of patriotic duty, newspapers simply shouldn’t print this sort of thing in time of war; they should have enough sense to self-censor this kind of material. I’m sure the Times in its wisdom (?) doesn’t want the US to go to war against Iraq. But some of the blood of our soldiers who will die there in the process can now be charged to the Times’ account.
