Conservatives Outraged That NYTimes Published CIA Operative Name

"Too bad, because an otherwise fascinating story about the scramble to build a counterterror apparatus after 9/11, the merits of coercive vs. non-coercive interrogation, and the stings that nailed Abu Zubaydah and KSM is going to be submerged in a debate over their decision to publish the lead interrogator’s name against his wishes and those of CIA chief Michael Hayden." picked by ImNotBlue 5 months ago

FULL DISCLOSURE!!!
This is a link to the website, "Hot Air," a right-wing/conservative website, run by Michelle Malkin. That said, the story is subject to extra scrutiny for reasons of political bias. However, I did look for this story elsewhere, and was unable to find a more unbiased account... mainly because it's not (yet) a wide-spread story. If you find a more objective link, please post in the comment section.
___________________________

This story reeks of the Plame incident, except with the shoe on the other foot. This time the Times revealed something they shouldn't have, despite having been a vocal critic previously. Additionally, this is not the first time the NYTimes has made such decisions, despite the request to hold back such information.

I suppose the real question is, why does the NYTimes think it can play by its own rules?
