On one hand I cannot see one thing that we (the public) really needed to know about with this disclosure and on the other hand there was a very strong need for the terrorists (our enemy by the way) not to know about the program. The newspaper did nothing but give a good working tool away to the terrorists, using it only to sell more newspapers.
The argument that the NYT puts up will not hold water, no matter how fancy they try to package it.

That's a lame bit of reasoning simply for the fact that someone internal to the Bush administration can't be trusted to hold onto sensitive material.
Again - three years into the making, this war has not improved one bit. Who are you to say ANYONE would have benefitted from this information not being printed?
New-world conservative behavior, as usual: blame others, take no responsibility.
