Did somebody mention Khan?
The Paki's ISI knew who to go to with this info to screw up the WoT didn't they? NY Times will gladly print the guy's name. Stay on the terrorists good side and they will eat you last.

I'm posting this again to add/edit this with the following. He may have burned himself to get out of the system.
Like playing spoons with my children, I'll take the spoon asap. Glad we nabbed him now. :)
If he was held in Pakistan then I doubt seriously that this was a secret except to us.
They're at their commie party meetings or sitting in small theaters watching F9/11 for the fifth time and cheering. LOL
Actually, to be accurate, it was a treasonous reveal in print by the NYT.
Headline should readUnmasking of Qaeda Mole is Treason by NY Times-Experts
John Loftus pushing this theme on FNC right now. I am quick to remind everyone that he is a DEMOCRAT, despises President Bush, often has misinformation, and would not hesitate to use it if it hurts the President.
More likely, this is being leaked to protect the real mole, who is still in deep cover. Khan may have given us good information, but if he agreed to work undercover, there's no WAY his name would have been leaked to the press. That's the kind of opportunity that comes once in a blue moon, I imagine.
Loftus blamed the 'white house' for leaking to the New York Times. Now I ask you, how likely is that scenario.
It's certainly possible that we did. However, I agree that it is not farfetched that al Qaeda figured out that we have infiltrated their organization, and we offered up this guy when it's really someone else.
I agree.
bttttt
The Times has not sense, no shame, and no excuse in publishing this info. I am stunned to think of the a__hole editor who greenlighted this. Did they do it to feed the 24-hour news cycle and sell papers or to undermine national security? I cannot fathom a paper having done this during WW II. It is unforgivable.
There is no depth to which the media wouldn't sink.
Um, overall, there comes a time where a mole is only that, a mole. And leaving him in place MAY have provided additional info, but by leaving him in place, bad guys are left to their own devices which may or may not be known to the mole.
Either way, once the NYT blows a cover, it's a moot point. Notice, however, none of the bad guys (that we DID know about) escaped..

Incompetence
If they can't handle the responsibility they shouldn't be allowed to publish at all. We need to take a page out of Iraq's playbook and shut them down for a month like Allawi has done with Al Jazeera. Course it'll never happen.
