Leak logic

Fred Hiatt, or whoever wrote that dismal op-ed A Good Leak, will be paying the price for that piece of pap for a while. It will, I think, become the code word for bad editorial writing forever. The NYT gets their licks in this week with an opposing editorial called A Bad Leak, effectively leaving Fred looking like an idiot.

It's the expected debunk but one line jumped out at me.

Just the other day, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told the House Judiciary Committee that the names of the lawyers who reviewed Mr. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program were a state secret.

That makes sense. If he identified them, they'd be disbarred and then who would validate the White House's pre-conceived notions?
