At the outset, it's essential to acknowledge the far-reaching importance of the eavesdropping article's content to Times readers and to the rest of the nation. Whatever its path to publication, Mr. Sulzberger and Mr. Keller deserve credit for its eventual appearance in the face of strong White House pressure to kill it.

I think most normal, patriotic Americans would wonder if it's right to spill military secrets that help the enemy in wartime. But not Mr. Calame.

As I have posted over the last weeks here, Pinchie Sultzberger and Keller (and Risen) need to be tried as traitors for this treasonous act. They KNOWINGLY published national secrets for the world to see, and it was NO ACCIDENT. No trial is needed since the whole world witnessed the act, and we all know the intent was there since President Bush asked them not to publish. The 1st Amendment does give a person a right to commit TREASON.
