Pres BO needs to get very "angry" and come down hard on The NY Times!

We agree that WikiLeaks irresponsibly published information that threatens our national security.

Unfortunately, we can't do much about WikiLeaks! 

I do agree with Rep King of NY that WikiLeaks should be named a terrorist organization.

However, WikiLeaks is outside of the country and it's hard to believe that another government will shut them down.

What can Pres BO do?  He should come down very hard on The NY Times.  He should denounce their decision to publish this information.

To be fair, The NY Times did not violate the law.   (Read The NY Times' explanation)

Instead, they acted irresponsibly in agreeing to publish national secrets, such as private conversations or "cables" between diplomats.

Who authorized The NY Times to release private conversations or memos?

How does The NY Times determine the national security value of these conversations or memos?

What confidential sources has this irresponsible decision compromised?

What future discussion won't happen because of concerns about leaks?

Pres BO needs to come down very hard on the irresponsible NY Times.

Again, The NY Times did not violate the law. 

The NY Times just demonstrated once again that they have no regard for our national security.
