New York Times to Facilitate Publishing Stolen Classified Documents
Posted by Dave Blount at January 26, 2011 10:00 AM
After derailing national security efforts by exposing overseas wiretaps and a program targeting networks that fund Islamic terrorists, and gleefully publishing gay military poster child Bradley Manning's classified leaks, the New York Times is so certain that it will never be charged with treason that it is installing a fast lane for illicit documents:
The New York Times is considering options to create an in-house submission system that could make it easier for would-be leakers to provide large files to the paper.
Executive editor Bill Keller told The Cutline that he couldn't go into details, "especially since nothing is nailed down." But when asked if he could envision a system like Al Jazeera's Transparency Unit, Keller said the paper has been "looking at something along those lines."
The New York Times follows the lead of Al Jazeera. Sorry, this isn't exactly news.
"A small group from computer-assisted reporting and interactive news, with advice from the investigative unit and the legal department, has been discussing options for creating a kind of EZ Pass lane for leakers," Keller said.
If only there were an EZ Pass lane to get Keller in front of a firing squad the next time he commits treason.
Keller might finish his decorating with a portrait of Bradley Manning.
On a tip from Amy D – Discontented in JAX.
