New York Times taking a leak in public again

I found this url for NIE documents the president declassified after the New York Times leaked portions of it to bolster the liberal argument that Bush was wrong to take us into war in Iraq and the continuing terrorism is the fault of his policies in Iraq.

With the release of the NIE today we find that the New York Times was cherry picking a single fact out of the NIE briefing which in reality proves that we must continue to fight terrorist over there. If we do and we defeat them, then our mission will not only be successful from a tactical perspective, but we also will begin to see the change in hearts and minds we are seeking.

The NIE also tells a tale about how Al Qeada is decimated and broken into much smaller individual self-radicalized groups. Additionally, it tells about the apparent appeal of extremist and how greater pluralism and political responsiveness (democracy) can alleviate at least some grievances which jihadists exploit.

Granted, it is only a prediction, but it is a far different picture than what many Democrats and media would like to portray. It is also in direct opposition to what the New York Times was trying to sell the American public. In fact, the NIE draws the complete opposite conclusion.

Now, tell me something – why is no one ever prosecuted for leaking classified documents to the press? And why is the press not prosecuted for printing classified documents?

Because Valerie Plame isn't pretending to be outed by someone in the Bush Administration on this one, so not really a big deal.
