WAR OF WORDS OF ACCURACY AND SECURITY First, no American servicemen were harmed — or will be harmed — by the Times stories. The defense press corps routinely asks official Washington two questions when covering stories like these: Is the information accurate? And does the story endanger the operation’s security? If the Pentagon convinces the press that it’s inaccurate, they withdraw it. If the Pentagon says it endangers the operation, the press holds off or pares the story back. (At least one of the Times’ invasion stories were vetted in this way, says a Defense Department source, and it’s a safe bet that all of them were.) msnbc.com
