re: #34 blueraven

That’s a really good article and what I have been thinking since the beginning of this story. It wasn’t the AP story so much that was the problem, but the source of the leak, and the snowball trickling out of more info. We (or someone) get a mole into Al Queda and this leak screws it all up. This is not some government whistle-blower leaking government corruption or wrongdoing. It is a serious National Security issue.

My dad made the same point, and then went on to say how awful the Chicago Tribune’s coverage of the story had been, focusing not on that but at wagging the paper’s finger at the Justice Department.

The reason the story has an anti-DoJ angle is primarily that the media don’t think DoJ should be able to scrutinize them in such a fashion.
