as left wingers didn't have a problem with clinton giving our missile guidance technology to the Chinese communists, it doesn't surprise me the left wingers don't see a problem with the NYTimes selling out security issues...

Some people are just naturally inclined to Authoritarianism --- they are always yelping for a big 'Fearless Leader' to rule them.... The impulse towards Monarchism was with us at the founding of our nation (and a narrowly divided choice that was... a little more to one side and a King would be on our currency today), and it is still with us today --- albeit in a somewhat different form. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." --- Thomas Jefferson, in 1816. "Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad...." --- James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, May 13, 1798. "Timid men... prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous seas of liberty." --- Thomas Jefferson And, as I've said before: Message 22586933

There is one heck of a difference in controlling the press and expecting a modicum of restraint in publishing sensitive information relating to our efforts in war zones. The fact that you seem to fail to distinguish between the two goes a long ways in explaining your leanings. Would it be okay with you if the NY Times printed all the satellite schedules and locations? Or maybe how to intercept base to base communications? Or how about an early edition every day on expected troop movements? Many of the complaints from the left are pure political imagery and puffed up fears.
