Not really, no. This was directed more at the Times than the leakers themselves, though I imagine not one person there would have argued against going after the leakers as well.

Prosecute them both, I say. The leaker for revealing classified info and the Times for printing it. As Freedom of Speech is not absolute (think: fire in a movie theater) neither should be Freedom of the Press, and for the same reason.

That's what I think.

I really think the publicity & protest about this is missing the boat by focusing on the newspaper.

If someone is leaking classified information to a newspaper, there are likely to be leaks to other places as well.

The LEAKERS need to be found & prosecuted.
