Thanks for the information, it's quite valuable. Remember that the NYT based their actions on advice from council, but that doesn't mean the advice was correct. They were specifically told by the POTUS that the information was damaging to national security and they were "asked" not to use it.

I would say off hand that the Commander in Chief would be better versed on the damage it would do than the NYT lawyers. However, in a closed court, the full impact would be revealed and the NYT would be unable to claim they didn't realize what they were doing. They were told.

Nice tagline!

"Leak" sounds like such a non-threatening word, so is used in a sympathetic way by the Leftmedia.

I am going to try to give the word some of the powerful image of the "leaks" that flooded New Orleans. IOW, causative of devastation, and extremely difficult or impossible to stop or correct.

- when I call my senators and congressman's offices
- when I call talkshows
- when I even write the Sunpaper (hopeless waste of effort)
