“Significant national security issues”? And the press wouldn’t report those just like the New York Times didn’t publish THE PENTAGON PAPERS. They were asked not to report Abu Ghraib, but some naked Moslem men are more important than covering the story about four dead Americans in Benghazi? Baloney.
The Pentagon Papers were mostly after-the-fact reporting and didn’t discuss ongoing tactical events.
Au Ghraib was reported by the Army personnel on site. Those reports went viral, so no valid comparison there.
The press knows very little about the tactical situation in N Africa and only in bits and pieces, not enough to report.
Our media is obviously in the bag for Obama, but they are also careful to stay away from ongoing operations.
