This just seems to me like selective outrage. You (NYT) can break the law (allegedly) to expose "politically inconvenient facts" but they (WH) can not break the law (allegedly) to expose "terrorist funds"?
I agree that the classification process can be (you have already convicted them of) misused and abused. But that does not mean that it is ok to throw it out the window and do whatever one wants.
