Try to follow...the Treasury Dept decided to declassify and release some information to the WSJ because the NYT got some of it wrong; the NYT was going to publish anyway. It leaked the correct info to the WSJ to take the joy out of the Time's decision to print it in the first place.
Try to follow - that is what I'm saying. The fact that our government felt the need to declassify information because of the Time's decision to run the story is only the first of the problem.
The fact is that the Post, San Fran Chronicle and WSJ also went with the story - albeit after the Times went against the gov asking them not to.
