What exactly does this have to do with a civilian news organization publishing sensitive information it receives?
Since the information is kinda supposed to NOT be known to the international community, it would be nice for the media to not report sensitive information.
The left had a fucking cow when Valerie Plame was "outed" and how that is was treasonous, compromised national security, and so forth. But when the NY Times reports about secret programs to track down terrorist activity, it's a "right to know" issue? When the Washington Post publishes about secret prisons, it's a "right to know" issue. Gotta love the double standard.
