David Yerushalmi has some interesting thoughts on why the whistleblower statute doesn't apply in the NSA surveillance leak case and why the New York Times' special pleading for themselves through their editorial page is not at all convincing.
    According to the Times/Schumer logic, every disaffected 
civil servant should be permitted to divulge national
security secrets if his motives are to expose a program
he believes illegal or not in the best interests of the
country. But does this not put the leaker in the position
of Supreme Judge of our nation's national security?
Who
determines the "legality" or propriety of a top secret
program? The President? The Courts? Congress? The leaker?
