The entire NYT discussion is the discussion of choice by the MSM. They would rather take the hits and play footsie with the likes of Charlie Rose, Chris Matthews and Tim Russert than have their sources frogmarched to jail. They view it as providing cover and taking one for the team. You are correct, the real story is the one not being focused on. This is a candle that must be burnt on both ends.
Why are they mainstream? Because most independents, late deciders and uncommitteds get their news from the 3 networks, the newspapers and their car radios.
The MSM could write a great set of articles on the motivations of THEIR sources. Nah
The MSM could write and expose on the terrorists strategies, tactics and how the terrorists use their tools to get around the traditional systems used to catch them. Nah....
The leakers of this story, other older stories and the NYT Tunnel story need to be found, now. The Tunnel story, IMHO, may very well yield some 'sources' and 'information planters' that are politically based and tied to elected officials. Too many are still jacked about the New York City - Homeland Security funds allocation dispute and are now using the tunnel story as the perfect storm.
The timing of the release of the Tunnel story was just too ripe, and all the terror culprits were not allowed to play out their roles and contacts. Really damaging.
Identify the leakers, catch them, place them on trial and if they are found guilty, send them
to Jail.
However, that could take years so... until then... the distributers and PUBLISHERS of this classified information should stop NOW!
