The New York Times continues its war against the war by revealing yet more classified information to our enemies foreign and domestic (oops, sorry I forgot the New York times is one of the domestic enemies). This time it's a memo from the desk of Donald Rumsfeld on "new options in Iraq. The text of the memo is rather less interesting than the fact of the Times publishing yet more classified material during wartime.
Can anyone imagine what would have happened during the Second World War if an important and secret government paper had been leaked to the New York Times. Maybe the Morgenthau Plan with its draconian proposals for the future of Germany. The propaganda uses the enemy would have gotten from the leak would have been enormous as they would have used the information to drive their army and civilian population to ever greater efforts in order to keep the fatherland from becoming a group of deindustrialized rump states.
Isn't anyone at the present day Times far seeing enough to realize the implications of their actions or is their hatred of George Bush and all he stands for so intense that it blinds them to role they are playing in America's global defeat?
