Dubya classifies documents to cover his butt. Like for example.......ummmm......THIS ONE. Not for national security reasons. And I imagine that's what pisses Joe off. Dubya's cover-your-ass classification decisions are not sticking. The nation is finding out, and will continue to find out, what's been really going on in Washington lately.

But let's set that aside in favor of something infinitely more obvious. A newspaper reports what it sees. A newspaper is free to report whatever it sees. If a newspaper is government-regulated, then it is not a free press. If a newspaper is government-regulated and then the libs take over (as you know darned well they will) Congress, then you'd have newspapers that are run by government liberals. Do you still want to press for regulation of the press?

The problem is not that the NYT reported what it saw. The problem is that the NYT saw this memo. (Actually, the problem is that the memo was classified in the first place)

Joe, if you were railing against the publication of information that should have stayed classified, I would be as angry as you. But there are two differences. I would be angry at the person who leaked the information. The other difference is that information personally embarrassing to Dubya.......is not information that should stay classified.

Sorry. I live in a democracy. Voters' decisions depend on the information available. If Dubya is an embarrassment, then I'd like the voters to know that. And they seem to know that now.
