The LA times sapparently published a story based on statements out of Congress.
If Congress Critters make statements, the LA Times or anyone else can and should publish... that's news....
Do you have no problem, however, with the summary way in which the administration is deporting itself?
And congresspersons shouldn't be leaking classified information. They should be arrested and/or impeached. Publishing such a story causes difficulty in diplomatic relations, and the LA Times knows that. They didn't care, because their boy lost in 2000 and they want Bush's presidency fraught with as much peril as possible. They (both Congress's Left-wing and their willing accomplice, LA Times) apparently don't care how many soldiers die, how many missions fail, and how many enemies they might create... as long as their anti-Bush agenda is promoted. When one acts in such a way to help American troops become endangered, that's sedition and treason.

How is a report that is asking the Pentagon to prepare for the worst-case scenario a bad thing? I'd be willing to bet that every administration has published similar reports since JFK. (Ever seen the movie "Wargames" with a teen-age Matthew Broderick? Such preparation is not a new idea.)
