NY Times About To Put American Lives at Risk?

I sure hope that Brad Thor's tipster is wrong, but considering the recent track record of the leftist media giant, I won't be surprised if the New York Times really is considering publishing a list of names of Americans working to protect U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

The release of this information serves no practical purpose other than to expose these individuals and their families to threats of violence. The intent can only be to undermine and distract those individuals. This puts the lives of our soldiers and Marines in greater danger.

How can they morally justify this?

Update: CIA Deputy Director suddenly "retires." Thor seems to think this was the man who leaked the names of DoD personnel to the press.

I would not want to be him.

1 They don't even try. Just remember, they're the enemy.

2 You know, I'm not approving of what the NYT is doing, but I bet if we withdraw ALL U.S. personnel from Afghanistan including our troops, there would be a lot fewer American lives put at risk over there. Just a thought, courtesy of Ron Paul, hardly a liberal.

4 They justify it by saying that an open society should have no secrets. Of course, if you were to publish Pinch's home phone number and private email account information, then you'd have a fight on your hands.

Yes, and hardly sane, too.

6 but I bet if we withdraw ALL U.S. personnel from Afghanistan including our troops, there would be a lot fewer American lives put at risk over there.

Yes, over there fewer American lives would be at risk. Over here, however, is a different matter. Since Muslim jihadists reached out from Afghanistan all the way to NYC (and Africa and Yemen and the first NYC bombing). Not to mention the impact on Pakistan and India of abandoning Afghanistan to fanatics like the Taliban.
