Here's a dirty little secret about the New York Times: It likes to leak things. Important things. Things that change the course of the public conversation. From the Pentagon Papers to the ruined terrorist-surveillance programs of the Bush era, the Times has routinely found that secrecy is a danger and sunlight is a disinfectant.

I have noticed “Big Media” has buckoo(sp) stories about the need to act since this story broke. The slavery dogs never quit.
New York Slimes... really who reads that $hit?
If you are into finding and reporting on corruption of the powerful, you shouldn't be surprised that, in this screwed up era, all the big fish are dems and dihmis. Of course all corruption is not created equal.
