With today's current crop of reporters and editors, it would have happened as I wrote it.
Yup, the NYT certainly has a right and really a duty to keep the American citizens (and all people of the world including the Germans and Japanese) informed of anything this radical going on in secret. The people demand to know what their evil war mongering government is doing behind their backs - after all it is the taxpayers money being spent here! We demand do know if you are using "the Navajo code" to pass secrets about US citizens without their knowledge - there has been some rumors in last weeks NYT that the evil Government just might be spying on Ethel and Julius Rosenberg without a warrant and using "the code" to pass such information. You go NYT - print everything ya got so we can vote for NO WAR!!! /sarcasm
