It's not unpatriotic. It is TREASON!
The New York Times believes it has the right to disclose whatever leaked classified information it comes across. They believe the founding fathers gave an unusual and poweful right of freedom of the press which permits them to do whatever the hell they please no matter how dangerous it might ultimately prove for the country and the citizens under whom the constitution is formed. Those very words were written into the record today by
Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times as he tried to defend against accusations that the Times committed treasonous acts when it published classified intelligence information.
Not to the Times, the constitution gave the right of freedom of expression not only to "the press" but to all Americans including the conservative bloggers you to whom you condescend in your letter. All Americans have these rights. There is no special right granted to the press. And along with the rights come responsibilities as they always do. There is no free lunch. Actions have consequences. And if an individual were to stand on the corner disclosing this very information, he would be tried for treason. That's what should happen here.
