My own take on that issue is that it's a different audiences argument. I take your point. But then you still have the problem with why the audience, the public, really needed to know enough to warrant the very tippy top of the front page. It would be different were the program illegal or otherwise scandalous. but the one that international bankers won't keep doing it if it becomes so public. I made that argument yesterday. That would be my biggest concern regarding publication. As per your "two audiences" point, this is a difference of two subjects. At issue are both publishing the material and trumpeting the material by way of prominent placement. I was addressing the latter. If the information is already known, then by all means publish your analysis of it, but don't present it as hot, breaking news. That signals something else. It can't be both hot, breaking news and old news.
