The Liberals are viscerally anti-military.
So, the Star would give no thought to the risk to the soldiers inherent in talking about a commando.
Even so, one cannot blame a newspaper for printing information given out by the Minister of Defence in a press conference.
The very existance of this unit ought not to have been mentioned by the Minister in any context. Even if directly confronted, he ought to have kept his mouth shut.
I am old fasioned enough that I cring when I see mention of the movements of any commando, whether it be special units like this one, SAS, Delta Force, or more conventional commando like 42 Royal Marines or the 82nd.
But, I am also old fasioned enough to know that a press in a free society is entitled to print what it learns unless it is presented with a D Notice and that the duty to keep secrets lies on the government, not the press.
