If Dirt Were $$$$ - an outstanding post

As the controversy over the outrageous 'outing' of legal, covert efforts to track terrorist finances by the NYT and others rages in the blogoshpere, and the lame justification by Bill Keller of the NYT is dissected by various of the big name blogs (Michelle Malkin, PowerLine, Hugh Hewitt, et. al.), I came across one post, courtesy of Another Voice, that is definitely well worth reading.

The poster is the mother of a serviceman serving in Iraq, and she takes Bill Keller to task not only for publishing the story, but for his lame justification for doing so.

Of all of the posts that I have read on this, none have come close to the evisceration that this lady has done.

To Some Soldiers Mom: Bravo, and well said!

UPDATE: Not all journalists are idiots, after all, as former NBC News correspondent Richard Valeriani
says what the NY Times, LA Times, and the Wall Street Journal did was irresponsible, "show off" journalism, and akin to giving Anne Franks address to the Nazis.
