OK, I thought I wouldn't have to weigh in on this, but...
Everyone is all over the NY Times for publishing information damaging to the efforts of our government to track finances of terrorist cells. But it isn't the Times at fault here.
The issue lies with the Bush administration source that leaked sensitive information to the Times. Once that data was in the files of the Times, I would rather they publish. Then at least we all know what the terrorists know.
Does anyone think the system security at the Times is anywhere near as tight as that at the DOT? Does anyone doubt that Al Queso has eyes and ears at the Times?
The fault is in loose cannon at the Dept of the Treasury. Prosecution and prison should start there.
