NYT: "Whistleblower" Versus Partisan Hatchet Man

The Paper of Record knows the difference. And wants you to know, too.

That Scott-Ritter-looking buffoon from the NSA was of course a "whistleblower" for revealing highly classified information. But the man who leaked the Barrett report to the NYT isn't:

A copy of the report was obtained by The New York Times from someone sympathetic to the Barrett investigation who wanted his criticism of the Clinton administration to be known.

Powerline is waiting for the New York Times to identify the source of one of its myriad anti-Bush leaks as:

A copy of the report was obtained by The New York Times from someone sympathetic to the Democrats' position who wanted his criticism of the Bush administration to be known.

As The Man says, I think it's going to be a long... long time.

Scott Ritter turned out to be right.

Yeah, right that those underage girls will fall for that "meet me at Burger King" line every single time.

Given the breadth and changing nature of Scott Ritter's opinions about Iraq, Mary, that'd he'd be right is a given.

The only question is which opinion of Scott's and at what point in time.

Regarding the Times piece, what Ace overlooks is that in the NYT piece the leaker self-identifies himself as a person "wanted his criticism of the Clinton administration to be known."

The leaker of the NSA program details probably self-identified himself as a noble patriot who only wants what's really best for the country.

If anything, the NYT times double-standard cuts against the Left in this case.

Given that the NYT's whistleblower lost his clearance because he was diagnosed as nuts--that was the offical medical diagnosis--why are we paying attention to him, the story, or the NYTs?

Link mentioned above by its author deserves to be quoted in full:

NY Times Lines Up Democratic Donor as "Source"
In an article set out to discredit the Cisneros/Clinton scandal before it starts, the New York Times lines up testimony from a seemingly neutral party, Robert S. Litt, to slam the report and it's author.

According to OpenSecrets.org, during the last 3 election cycles, Robert S. Litt (and his wife Deborah) have donated $38,650 to Democrats.

Yup, middle of the road reporting. No bias here.
