Finally, a chance to respond.
Quite honestly, I believe this story was intentionally leaked to the NYT so that the administration could then attack them. Otherwise, they have far worse problems than what the Times chose to report. If the Times commited treason then there are a number of traitors in this administration. The Times would have no story to report if it hadn't been leaked to them from the administration. And considering that this administration already has a history of leaking information to the media whenever it serves their purposes, I find it a plausable scenario (not much different from when they passed a document to CBS news, then crucified Dan Rather when he reported it). Standard operating procedure. This would also explain why there is no mention of the Wall St. Journal anywhere to be found. Regardless of who leaked it first, they are equally guilty for publishing the story, IMO.
