You're on a boat
You're on a boat.
You and a few other people decide you don't like the Captain of this boat. But not only do you not like him, you hate him! In fact, you hate him so much you start planning to sink the boat in order to get rid of him.
Crazy?
Welcome to the USS America.
"The New York Times is doing one heckuva job underming U.S. national security."
"Al Qaeda has long worked to manipulate the media in its favor. It can disband that operation now, knowing that, unbidden, America's most powerful newspaper is looking out for its interests."
"I am outraged that the newspaper [Los Angeles Times] revealed classified details of a successful anti-terror operation.
"Dear Mr. Keller: Thank you for continually contributing to the deaths of my fellow soldiers."
"...what's so infuriating about this is the smugness of Bill Keller in overriding the judgment of all of our elected officials, really, and just single-handedly providing this information to terrorists, and to everyone else."
"For the second time in seven months, the [New York] Times has exposed classified information about a program aimed at protecting the American people against a repeat of the September 11 attacks. On this occasion, it has company in the effort: The Los Angeles Times runs a similar, sensational story."
You're on a boat.
Some people who don't like the Captain are trying to sink the boat in order to get rid of him.
What do you do about the people who are trying to sink the boat?
What will you do when they finally sink the boat?
