The Central Intelligence Agency asked The New York Times not to publish the name of Deuce Martinez, an interrogator who questioned Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other high-level Al Qaeda prisoners, saying that to identify Mr. Martinez would invade his privacy and put him at risk of retaliation from terrorists or harassment from critics of the agency.
After discussion with agency officials and a lawyer for Mr. Martinez, the newspaper declined the request, noting that Mr. Martinez had never worked under cover and that others involved in the campaign against Al Qaeda have been named in news stories and books. The editors judged that the name was necessary for the credibility and completeness of the article.
Here read the article, and tell then tell me why he couldn't be listed as an "informed source?"
Of course he could have. The NYT has a vendetta against people who protect the country.
Ok, now i get it!
ReplyDeleteIt's ok to out someone whose *not* a glorified CIA secretary and was actually doing something that didn't involve bashing Bush... because the Iraqi war is 'bad'.
And anyone who actually tried to help America win is not worth anonomynity...like some wife of Joe Wilson and his 'Who's Who' entry?
