I was thinking of submitting the Friedman article too. Sadly what Friedman fails to acknowledge is that a whole generation is entering puberty now for which 9/11 never happened. But Friedman has always been naive of full of crap depending on the interpretation.
Both Brooks and Friedman have one great problem though - they fail to show some real and tangible harm brought to the US or their allies by this leak.
It is also interesting that the Editorial can be used as rebuttal to those articles.
Schneier is sober and sensible as usual. But sadly among the connected people the opinions are strongly against the leak.
