And the president (in his press conference with Hamid Karzai today) left no doubt: the leak was illegal and he’s patently furious about it. He ordered the main conclusions to be declassified, noting what a “bad habit” it is to declassify something every time a part of it gets leaked, i.e., every time the NYT invents news by taking a portion of a secret document out of context. And he slammed the leakers (and implicitly the Times, for whom he could barely conceal his contempt) for political opportunism.
