The left know no decorum, has no guilt, only enforces law if YOU break it and has no responsibility themselves.

Forget the made up Valerie Plame debacle, this is for real.

Want to bet no one other than the people outed suffer?

There was a time in this country when people went to prison,or were executed for this.

Someone at the Times needs to be arrested and charged with treason! This crap needs to be brought to a screeching halt!

Hezbollah- Irans proxy.

Damn... Just no words for he went through.

The Trump administration should immediately revoke 'every' press credential the NYT's has. The Times should not be allowed into 'any' government meeting or press conference again.

I have nightmares over they did to this poor man. I don't know why but his story keeps me up at night. RIP sir.

The reporter and editor who authorized the publication of this story in the NYT needs to spend some time in the greybar hotel. To release the story endangers the man and reveals an Intelligence source.

It is far past the time when the "media" are held liable for what they do!

Those who had ANY part in releasing this information should be tried for treason, and if the agent who was outed is harmed in any way, they should be tried as accomplices to that action as well.

Better answer would be to just shut that so-called news agency down after charging those responsible for this "leak".

Maybe they should be encouraged to go practice journalism in Tehran.

I see you're pretty fast and loose with that term "journalism" these days, eh?

Freedom of the press is a pretty self explanatory term. I wish they would not have run this story but talk of censoring the media is off base. Start down that slope and where does the slide end.

I want to know how they found out the information. I assume it was not listed in his bio on the CIA's Facebook page. Absolutely restrict media access to government facilities/personnel and end media briefings except where it benefits the government. Find out who leaked it and give them a blindfold.

The only time I have seen the media treated appropriately was the way Norman Schwarzkopf treated them during the gulf war.

? The Law still applies to the media. The 1st amendment isn't without sensible restrictions- Yelling fire in a movie theater, publishing classified information.

The folks at the NYT need to remember who they just fucked over.

He is a man with a particular skill set.

If something happens to his family, I hope he goes John Clark on them. Hell, I'd help him.

So you believe that just because some individual is a "reporter" that they have the right to disclose national secrets/intelligence data. Not to mention essentially putting someone's life in danger. And this simply because they have some card that identifies them as a "reporter".

By extension, your concept would make it perfectly OK for some "reporter" to publish any and all information that somehow came to their attention. National security, or peoples' lives be damned. All in the name of "journalism".

Not in my book!

Somebody in this forum stated some time ago, something to the effect that, "just because you can, does not mean you should!

Who will be held responsible, in your world, if the person "outed" by the NYT is killed? Or how many others who may be disclosed by information provided, under chemical or physical torture, by this man?

It was discussed at great length in the Wikileaks(?) thread about when a national security secret is no longer a national security secret. Someone was claiming that if you went to the website and read the files you could be arrested because they were still classified documents.

Like it or not, the reporter did not break the law by reporting the name. The source that gave the reporter the name (I assume) violated the law. The reason there are so many leaks like this is because even when someone is caught divulging classified information they are rarely any substantial consequences. When is the last time someone was tried and executed for treason?


Also, Just because you can does not mean that you should, but it does mean that you can.

While I don't agree at all with publishing the story, they can and did. As I said earlier, find the leak and breakout the blindfold.

If the press had found out beforehand about the date and location of the D-Day invasion, should they have published it? If you think not, then why shouldn't they do such a thing if they were in a position to do it?

NY Times is going to do what they do, they're a liberal newspaper that's taken up the mantle of rewriting history and shitting on all things that are 'conservative', in uniform.

I'm more concerned with how the NYT obtained this information. More than enough friends have expressed their exasperation of how politically divided the CIA is internally and how many non-operations types have taken to their opposition of the current POTUS by 'being connected'. An adult needs to go in and start issuing attitude adjustments.
