during the Plame affair. They were calling for investigations and prosecution (at least until some of their own reporters became involved). Somehow, this is different. But what do they care? They get the attention for breaking the story, and if some of those involved are hurt or if one of the planes is shot down, all the better. We all know how the Press loves to cover plane crashes. And to think, the Press complains about how the military doesn't trust them. They just can't understand why.

As bad as it was for the NYT to reveal this info, the real culprits are those who knowingly leaked classified info. We can't do anything to the reporters, but there should be an investigation to find out who blabbed to the Press. That was a crime under federal law.
