New York Times Terror Leak

[Gamefreak]

As some of you may know.  A few weeks ago, the New York Times printed a story telling about a secret U.S plan to track Taliban spending records.  Of course, the Taliban now knows about this.  The Times are facing a lot of heat because they leaked top-secret U.S plans to defeat terrorism.  The Times are defending themselves by saying what I like to call "Pleading the first"  Which basically means that the First Ammendment covers their right to Free Speech.  What do all of you think?

I think they ought to go to hell for leaking important information like that.  Isn't that tecnically treason in which case the First Amendment wouldn't matter?

[Gamefreak]

It's definitely a contradictory event.  I guess you could call this a "gray area".  Personally I think when in times of war, important military information should be kept secure.

Really, no kidding. Sometimes, you need to abolish freedom to maintain/obtain freedom. Yes, it sounds like an oxymoron, but in this case, it sounds like it's true.

[JDog]

well so much for that plan.

[Darth Wyndisis]

Emperor Palpabush should behead those traitors with his lightsaber!

Seriously, what good did the The New York Times think would come from that?

[Gamefreak]

Why, the American public would know about the  plan that's what.   ::)

[Hi no Seijin]

It's like shouting "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater when there isn't one.  It gets people hurt.  What most people don't realize is that with freedom comes responsbilility.  The First Amendment lets you say what you want, but that doesn't mean you get to act like an idiot.

I live in New York, so im very angered by this. Heres how i see it: the New York Times' idiotic article may be in line with the first ammendment, but that doesnt matter: they're endangering the country and its people and its very inconsiderate.

[Gamefreak]

And it was a very successful plan until The Times revealed it.

[MasterKeyX]

yep, that's the New York Slimes. always bashing bush and being as liberal as theyu can be. >:(

[Zelda Veteran]

that is extremely stupid. Why would anyone else but the military need to know this? I think it was very stupid of them to print top secret info out in public like that.

[Darth Wyndisis]

Yeah.  Thanks New York Times.  We love you.  

I say we burn their headquarters to the ground. >:(

[MasterKeyX]

I agree. They put us in danger just to get a "good story." Well, thats very selfish New York Times, and thenaks for the insecurities. >:(

[Gamefreak]

I think that crosses the line of rationality.
