The Not-Unprecedented Leak |

h/t Pajamas Media Did a media leak of classified information allow the deaths of Marines (and soldiers) twenty-three years ago in Beirut? KATHARINE GRAHAM, the publisher of The Washington Post who died in 2001, backed her editors through tense battles during the Watergate era. But in a 1986 speech, she warned that the media sometimes made "tragic" mistakes. Couldn't have been, says Jeff Goldstein sardonically, since "surely the terrorists must have known we were listening in on them. ThatÂ’s what our spy agencies do, after all." In his long piece on the subject, AJ Strata points out that "the media now has a self documented history of getting people killed." |
