If at the beginning of the Afghanistan or Iraq invasions, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh went out over the airwaves telling the public where our current positions were, and where we are going, and what the battle plan is...I would have a problem with that. If during press conferences, the Commander in Chief makes any statements concerning the military, you can be rest assured that information is cleared for public knowledge by the big brass and immediate advisors.

I think it all depends on who does it. When the NYT mentioned Cheney's house, it revealed nothing secret or unapproved, but it was regarded by the hysterical Right as some kind of High Treason.

And you seem to have much more confidence in Bush than I do in that regard. He has compromised military and intelligence assets to make short-term political gains.
