>>I agree with you that not everything journalists learn should be published. So do the editors and publishers of reputable media. Not sure this story fits in the category of national secrets. Like it or not, this administration's history of lying, obfuscation, and stonewalling is probably a factor in the news media opting to report more of what they do rather than less. Someone needs to tell us the truth.

Are we absolutely certain this was not leaked on purpose?

The timing seems rather circumspect.

Consider the recent stories about Israel's training missions.
The talk about an attack between November and January.
Recent reports about Iran being nuclear within a year.

Hersh obviously has an agenda, so who better to be the unknowing messenger?
