Shannen has this all covered himself. But, just to add my two cents, since I helped get him into this tempest: it seems to me, he was clearly reacting to the Reuters piece. [We should have called Doubleday] to check the full accuracy of the Reuters piece and for their fresh comments. That said, Shannen’s point still stands–as he has made clear–he still thinks the publication of that kind of thing does more harm than good. That’s his opinion–on a topic we’ve had similar kinds of debates about before on NRO.
