If only he'd released this version. Iowahawk has a rough draft of Bill Keller's letter explaining his publishing decision:

It's an unusual and powerful thing, this freedom that our founders gave to the press. Who are the editors of The New York Times (or the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Jihadi Accountant and other publications that also ran the banking story) to disregard the wishes of the President and his appointees? I'll tell you who we are, pal. We are journalists - the people whom the inventors of this country specifically appointed to be the protectors of this little experiment we call the "human race" against the privations of out-of-control Texas Oil Nazis. And if you check your Constitution, I don't think you'll see anything in there about the right to clog up the press's inbox with your stupid Rush Limbaugh talking points.

Keller and anyone else involved should be charged with treason and espionage. Plain and simple, he willingly recieved and then released national secrets to the public during a time of war. Again, free speech does not give the media, print or otherwise the right to reveal secrets.

They should find the leaker too, and send his / her a$$ to prison for 25 years. This cr@p needs to stop!!

"Keller and anyone else involved should be charged with treason and espionage."

Amen, brother!

But why even bother to try him? I say just have him shot! And if you really want to stop this, you should shoot the entire editorial staff too, just to make an example of them. It worked for the Germans!

Interesting leap there, Mr. Boca. How is it that advocating a charge of treason, which implies a legal process, leads instantaneously in your ... er ... "mind" to execution without trial?

Is this another example of your side's "reality-based" rhetoric?

Robert Boca always was an insane wife beater.
