Letter From Bill Keller on The Times's Banking Records Report - New York Times
That Keller published this letter at all means that The Times has taken enormous heat for exposing the government's monitoring of SWIFT banking transactions. After reading his rationale, I am unpersuaded that he did the right thing. I fail to see that his decision is in the public interest, as he claimed initially and expands upon here, but more in the interest of embarrassing the Administration.
Revealing classified information is seldom in the national interest.
