Isn’t it rather hypocritical to lambast the Times for publishing this material when we’re all reading it here on Free Republic as well?

NO.

Hypocrisy is a moral relative term that in and of itself is morally and ethically moot. Your argued point as such is pointless -the left use this "hypocritical" argument ofthen when they disagree with something.

What do you disagree with that "Free Republic" and it's members are doing?

I’m sorry both that you apparently did not understand my point and that you dismiss the concept of hypocrisy, although that probably helps you sleep better at night.

The leaked information has been widely disseminated, by the New York Times as well as numerous other outlets. At this point, much of it has either been posted or linked here on Free Republic.

As appalled as we may be that this has been done, we have become willing participants by reading and commenting. We, Free Republic and its members, are spreading the information, just like the Times did.

Perhaps you are right in suggesting that this is not hypocrisy. Perhaps, in helping disseminate this material and thus failing to live up to the virtue that we demand of others, we are inwardly struggling to be better than those whom we criticize.

But I doubt it.
