Time to take the gloves off with regard to these leakers and their customers in the press. It's much like the hooker/John relationship, wherein law enforcement has found greater success in going after the consumer rather than the provider. In this case, the staff at the Times who developed and signed off on this story are the "Johns", the customers, buying the goods. We need to drop the hammer on them, and hard.

This is stupid. You assume that the press
knows the information to be classified, when we have, at the same time, a POTUS who blabs classified information all the time. The press held back on publishing the classified information that POTUS blabbed in that case. Who knows what the NYT knew or didn't know about classification level and/or the sensitivity to the UK investigation into this terror attack. Not a bunch of PPOT armchair QBs.
Also, WTF is this fixation on
only going after the press, as you so eloquently posted above when something is leaked. What about the leakers? These are people in the administration running their mouths, just like POTUS. Go after them before shredding the 1st amendment. Or is the 2nd all you know or care about? GMAFB.
