From a New York Times column: "Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher of The New York Times, said in a statement that "there are times when the greater good of our democracy demands an act of conscience." "Judy has chosen such an act in honoring her promise of confidentiality to her sources," he said. "She believes, as do we, that the free flow of information is critical to an informed citizenry.""

It is ironic, comic even, for Sulzberger to laud the importance of the free flow of information, and having an informed citizenry, but that lofty goal doesn't extend to telling us peons out here who the sources are.
