NY Times Admits Wrongdoing
Months after the fact, The New York Times editor, Byron Calame, admits it was wrong to publish information on the government's terrorist banking surveillance program. Michelle Malkin has the details and adds:

You and every other Chicken Little, anti-Bush editor at the Times who put lives at risk and undermined counterterrorism operations by giving your bogus justifications "too much weight." |

Amazingly, Calame's blames his poor judgment on the Bush administration, claiming "the vicious criticism of The Times by the Bush administration to trigger[ed] my instinctive affinity for the underdog and enduring faith in a free press". Translation: I wanted to show them what happens when you criticize The New York Times.
Will this confession get the headlines and play it deserves? I think not.
