I may get a bad reaction here, but Gov. control of the press? It has a haunting hint of North Korea in it... I really don't like the sound of that.
On the other hand, leaking of classified information should carry a life sentence. The Times should also be forced to reveal the source. This would put an immediate stop to it. Reveal your source, or face a (insert unrealistic fine here) penalty, payable to the (insert your fav charity here) fund.
Really, the press should have enough restraint to uphold the requests of the gov. in cases like this, but they don't.
In this particular case, no big secret was let out. It wasn't common knowledge for sure, but it wasn't a secret.
Also, the Wall Street Journal chose to publish it too.. shame on them as well. Having said that, if this were to have been critical secret information, the NYT would have printed it anyway, so my argument is kind of null.
I just don't think we should tiptoe into what could wind up being a form of censorship. Instead, we need to knock this out at the knees... kill the messenger (the leaker) and we do this by forcing the outlet (NYT) to reveal the source or pay dearly.
