well, it looks to me like somebody leaked this who was frustrated that the cross border plan was being stalled. I’m not saying the NYT was right to publish this, but somebody pretty high up in either the Pentagon or the Administration wanted the story out.
I think you got that one there, thats a big fat bloody question there isn’t it? Someone in the KNOW friggin spilled the beans, CIA? PENTAGON? FBI?.... Who is it? I want to know who it was and see them punished to the greatest extent of the law! TREASON.
Sounds as if you are attempting to excuse, in some way, the NYT for releasing the info.
This is no different from a bank robber handing you a bunch of cash, telling you it is stolen and you then spending it.
Yours is a sort of lame attempt at a sort of moral equivalency
