A Reminder: The Mainstream Media Endangers Us All

Time magazine reports that the USA picked up the would-be airline bombers' "chatter" and intercepted their communications, then passed the info on to Great Britain.

I can't help but be reminded that our news media, in disclosing programs such as the NSA wiretapping and financial tracing, has now made it much more difficult for us to thwart future terrorist plots. Unelected men such as Bill Keller and Dean Baquet, editors of the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, decided that they, not the elected President, had the right to disclose these programs. In doing so, they have endangered us all.
