It happened yet again. This is the forth time, in recent memory, that the NY Times has leaked a confidential report. Lets review:

About a year ago, in December of 2005, The New York Times leaked classified information with regards to the NSA Domestic Surveillance program.

At the end of September, the New York Times leaked portions of the classified National Intelligence Estimate — but only portions damaging to the President and Republican party.

Last Week the New York Times leaked information from a classified report detailing the funding of the insurgency in Iraq.

Now, they have done it again, this time in a private memo to Bush from one of his advisers.

The full article can be found here.

A classified memorandum by President Bush’s national security adviser expressed serious doubts about whether Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki had the capacity to control the sectarian violence in Iraq and recommended that the United States take new steps to strengthen the Iraqi leader’s position.

The Nov. 8 memo was prepared for Mr. Bush and his top deputies by Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser, and senior aides on the staff of the National Security Council after a trip by Mr. Hadley to Baghdad.

[…]

he five-page document, classified secret, is based in part on a one-on-one meeting between Mr. Hadley and Mr. Maliki on Oct. 30.

The Times cannot say say they didn’t know it was classified, they published that it was. It is in total disregard to US Law, and in a helping hand with the terrorists that this is published. I am sure such a sentiment will go a long way to embolden our enimies, and weaken the resolve of the Iraqi government.

This has got to stop. The Justice Department needs to take swift and firm action, as the NY Times is becoming more and more bold with its flagrant disregard for national security concerns. Freedom of the press most certainly dose not extend to abuses of this nature - the Times is bound by the law just like the rest of us are.

How can the Times justify this? Perhaps they have just come far to close to the terrorists they report on and, like the AP, have crossed the line from reporter to participant in this war on terror.

I would love to see those who supply the information tried as well, but only after the Times is hit very hard. We must first make sure the times thinks twice about publishing confidential intelligence data.
