People are being mean to Bill Keller

Poor guy:

Some of the incoming mail quotes the angry words of conservative bloggers and TV or radio pundits who say that drawing attention to the government’s anti-terror measures is unpatriotic and dangerous. (I could ask, if that's the case, why they are drawing so much attention to the story themselves by yelling about it on the airwaves and the Internet.)

I think that might be because the story was already broken on THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES. When you let the cat out of the bag, it's a bit gauche to blame the guy who notices that it's peeing all over the carpet.
