If your point is that news media shouldn't needlessly endanger our troops and overseas operatives, then I agree. Whether the Times has done that is beyond me.

Then we are largely in agreement, on both points.
I'm not saying that the NY Times or Newsweek authors should be charged with treason or any such ridiculousness, BUT...... Is a little common sense (not to mention some respect for the safety of our troops) too much to ask of them? Many people seem to think so.
