An interesting issue. On the one hand, freedom of the press is critical and the New York Times is in the business of press - not National Security. On the other hand, the NY Times just revealed the identity of an operative - essentially providing a national security secret to our enemies. At best, it is unpatriotic. At worst, it could be construed as "treason".
What say you, USMB community? Should the press reveal anything that it learns or do they have some sort of responsibility to protect certain information?
NY Times explains why they published name of undercover CIA agent — it does not go over well
