"I don't want the Times deciding, in wartime, just what 
    information I "deserve to have", thank you very much - 
    they are not elected,they are not accountable, and 
    frankly, I do not trust their politics. But rather than 
    abandon my fellow citizens to the mercies or depredations 
    of the Bush Administration, let me offer a constructive 
    suggestion - since we have a representative democracy, 
    complete with institutional checks and balances and two 
    parties, how about if the purveyors of classifed info, 
    when troubled by their consciences, take their troubles 
    to a Congressional oversight committee rather than the 
    NY Times?"
