I'm suprised that his former co-workers continued to admire him and
keep on friendly terms even after they learned he was spying for
the North, and that his information helped kill Americans.

Honestly, for all the complaints here about the MSM, I don't enjoy
seeing them as the "enemy" of the U.S. and U.S. military.

You are being too kind (usually, I am as well).

But consideration of "aid and comfort to the enemy" tells you
all you need to know about too many members of the MSM.

I remember seeing a "game simulation" on TV a few years back about
what might happen during terror attacks on the USA (participants
included members/ex-members of goverment, military, media and
medical community).

My blood simultaneously ran cold AND boiled when Frank Sesno (sp?)
of CNN said that if he was the boss of a reporter that came into
possession about sensitve information on a terror plot, he'd probably
publish it even if the government begged him to delay publication.

Too many journalists (even our home-grown) see themselves
as journalists first.
With their US citizenship ranking further down the list of their
priorities.

They will “leak” US plans but sit on their hands when it comes to the enemy. CNN covered up torture and abuse under Saddam Hussein to maintain their Baghdad Bureay. They had no such qualms when it came to blowing the actions at Abu Ghraib out of proportion... anything to unseat President Bush. They could’ve at least disclosed that it was the disgruntled uncle of one of the charged men who leaked the photos to the media when he was unable to secure a plea bargain for his nephew.
