In an editorial it calls "
Iran and the Nameless Briefers" the New York Times shares its outrage that the administration will not let it name the briefers who spilled the beans on Iran's attacks on Americans.
It wasn't all that many months ago when the NYT was printing secrets and refusing to name the government employees who were their sources.
I think it would be a more than fair trade if the Government named the briefers and the NYT named its sources. I'd bet that if it made that offer, the Government would quickly take the NYT up on it.
The NYT needs to throttle back on these kinds of editorials. They are unbecoming.
