The NY Times doesn't think the government should keep any secrets. I wonder if the NY Times thinks this rule applies to them? If they don't want any secrets then they should publish a list of their sources on the front page of tomorrow's issue.

The NYT does not deny that the govt can have secrets. It just stands by its right to publish whatever it finds out about. THe two are not the same.

The govt cannot and must not be able to gag a private news enterprise.

Yeah, this isnt a newspaper's fault for publishing that information, its the government's fault for being incompetent and allowing it to leak in the first place.
