[Ghoulish Delight]

I'll defend someone's rights, even if I think they're idiots for exercising them. Do I think it's "right" to publish classified information that has clear national security information, as in Alex's Zarqawi example? I suppose not. But neither do I think it's criminal or teasonous. Just stupid. I think the only situation where I'd change that tune is if the paper were actively seeking to find classified information (e.g. paying classified informants, obtaining classified docs by illegal means, etc.). Otherwise, if someone with classified status comes to them, then the legal consequences should be on the person doing the leaking.
