it makes sense, given that one of the main consequences of the leaks about iraq and afghanistan is evidence for a strong case against members of the bush administration for war crimes.
clearly the problem is the ny times.

addition: here's a pew research poll regarding popular reaction in the us to wikileaks.
Public Sees WikiLeaks as Harmful - Pew Research Center
it appears that people still like to like what they're told they like to like in the way they're told they like to like those things. |
Six-in-ten (60%)
well thak crap they cleared that up
(for those of us losy in the maths)
of those paying attention to the story say they believe the release of thousands of secret State Department communications harms the public interest. About half that number (31%) say the release serves the public interest, according to the latest News Interest Index survey conducted Dec. 2-5 among 1,003 adults.
Yet the public makes a distinction between WikiLeaks itself and the press' handling of the document release.
While nearly four-in-ten (38%) of this group say news organizations have gone too far in reporting the confidential material, a comparable number (39%) say the media has struck the right balance. Just 14% say news organizations have held back too much of the classified material.
oh hang on
39s bigger than 38 aint it?
yet they wrote it this way?
lions and tigers and bears
oh my

I am all for whistleblowing that solves a problem, but this has done no such thing. It is in all respects like a kid copying his sisters diary and hanging it up around the high school.
