Did NYT tried to warn Suleimani?

In the 11th paragraph says,

What if the former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Qassim Suleimani, visits Baghdad for a meeting and you know the address? The temptations to use hypersonic missiles will be many.

Hypersonic missiles are not used in that application. There is no need to.
The NYT needs to stick to writing articles about transgenders.

I agree this is a potential leak by a guy with inside connections. The January 2nd article date is too close to the event date and needs to be investigated.

Yes he did, and I pointed this out a week ago.

Dude should have his security clearance yanked and a complete anal probe of his like for the last couple years. Way too big of a coincidence.

That would be like using the space shuttle to go to the grocery store.

Very hard to believe it is coincidental.
Wonder why he used the word former.

Could that be why Suleimani used commercial jet instead of his regular private jet?

I just realized that his statement was roughly 24 hours prior to the drone strike killing him. That much detail is too accurate for coincidence.... It could have ruined the mission.

FBI Do your job.

The odds of this article apearring in the NYT just before Sulemani's elimination are very small indeed, very small.

I think the malodorous stench from the NYT is perhaps the smell of treason.

It’s almost as though the article was edited after the event... I agree, the use of “former” is real odd.

Let’s send this tip to a few like Hannity, Tucker, Levin, that will broadcast it and give the NYT a bigger black eye.

Thankfully the mission was a success.

From what I understand, he often flies commercial- built-in human shields.

Maybe they just dropped a zero on the publication date, making Jan 20 into Jan 2 by accident.

Er, dropped a 1, Jan 12 into Jan 2.

I really want this month to be over.
