By the way: no security has been compromised yet.
Most of all, Bush et al are embarrassed because they're dirty little secrets about their dirty little war were let out, proving they can't keep dirty little secrets.
And just so you know, many media, including conservative ones, would have done the same thing. News knows no responsibility but to their readers. Final.
Bush et al are barking up the wrong tree here, embarrassing themselves each and every time they yell "TREASON!" over the fact they can't get their own affairs in order.

No case huh? You really do live and work at Disney, in a fantasy world! When many of us wore a uniform, had we done what the NYT editor did, we would not pass go, and would head directly to Leavenworth Kansas, the federal prison and sit there awaiting trial. There is no doubt that we would then be convicted and spend 10-20 years making small stones out of large ones.
Disclosing classified information or programs is
let me help you here since you seem to be a bit slow on the uptake AGAINST THE LAW! These idiots made the govt's case when they plastered it on the front page.
Now, just because someone is a civilian, it does not remove the penalties for disclosing classified material. Various people and agencies told the jerks at the NYT that this program was classified and NOT TO DISCLOSE ITS EXISTANCE but they did it anyway to sell newspapers.
Doubt that this had any impact on you but hopefully some of it sunk in that thick skull of yours.
