Complaints to NY Times journalistic fraud watchdog:
retrace@nytimes.com
This is a result of the "everything is everyones business" mentality that our whole society has now days. We give up so much valuble future information because the media feels they have to have the info right now.
the pakis are some crooks lol.
they granted amnesty to all paki al qaeda fighters in the past and now they are trying to save others, by calling them their informants. lol
Unfreaking believable... This just disgusts me beyond belief.
U.S. officials subsequently confirmed the name to other news organizations Monday morning. None of the reports mentioned that Khan was working under cover at the time, helping to catch al-Qaida suspects.
Pong
The Fourth Estate = The Fifth Column
If we ever have another civil war, journalists won't just be reporting it; they'll be tagets.
Consider that the USG got tired of Paki inspired double games and their promises, and decided to force the issue by outing this guy, and stop Paki led triple XXX games with double agents...
Just a thought. Shadow wars and all....
Well, it sounds like there's blame enough to go around.
The U.S. official who confirmed the report could have kept his mouth shut, too. And how much of this is Pakistan's fault?
"Anonymous intelligence officials", no doubt.
Yet another damaging leak. Meant to damage...who?
Let's hope that Fitzgerald's grand jury is addressing this kind of activity.
What about the traitors "U.S. Officials" that tipped off the NY Times? Off with their heads.
If a few people get killed, according to the NYSlimes, all the better. They can blame Bush.
disgraceful
If he gets killed, his blood will be on their hands. Assholes.
Guess his last name didn't end in Wilson. I wonder when the investigation into the slimes will start?
I am sorry but this makes little sense.
This man was ARRESTED LAST MONTH. Of COURSE Al Qaeda would know that his information would be compromised.
Note that it says "A Pakistani intelligence source" - same 'source' that fed us disinfo for the past 3 years.
Quite likely, one of our Government officials, a Bush opponent, turned into leaker to the N.Y.Times.
At what price? to embarrass Bush and keep in favor with the NYT.
Never mind the security implications.
I don't often defend NYT, but this leak is the fault of the Bush administration. They started this train with the terror alert. They could have shut their mouth up until most of the guys have been caught. But no, they leaked it not just to NYT, but everyone else to trumpet up the catches.
Imagine if Bob Novak had done this.
Why, there would be Congressional investigations out the wazoo.
A special counsel appointed to investigate.
And a grand jury impaneled.
Subpoenas issued.
60 Minute Specials.
Hysteria by the left.
Vanity Fair cover stories.
Accusations thrown at Karl Rove and Scooter Libbey by Chris Matthews on a nightly basis.
Whew..
Thank goodness this was only a breach of national security of epic proportions,
I was worried someone had mentioned Valerie Pflame.
