So, what do we have at the end of the day:
An enemy in the intelligence community gave the NYT's Risen TopSecret information illegally and Risen prints it (obviously with the editors as his accomplice).
Risen's report is not actually news; it's been going on since air. And it's all legal.
Risen's treason only accomplishes one thing...give a heads up to AQ.
I hope this guy is made an example of.
Listening to Fox this morning, and they reported that the top people over at NYTimes had a meeting with 'the WH' as late as Dec 9th over the release of this information. They were, once again, asked not to print, but waited, what, a week to do so. And, imo, perfectly timed with elections and patriot act.
