At what point do we hold our media accountable? Perhaps you may have not seen the news report today detailing how President Bush has authorized covert activities against Iran. Maybe you did.

 Brian Ross with ABC has presented, via a blog entry, a report discussing how the President has signed an order activating activities in Iran to attempt to destabilize their government, amid other covert acts.

 My question...or rather, my comments have nothing to do with whether or not this order should have been given. There are pages and pages of comments to be made on whether or not we should move against Iran. I am personally not in favor of actions against the Iranian people, despite my opinion of their current idiotic government.

 Leaking this kind of informaiton is BEYOND sensitive to the men and women involved in these operations. Not only that, it betrays any trust the Iranians have in the US...AND it completely undermines any conversation Condoleeza and the Iranians were going to have next week regarding Iraq.

 This is reckless reporting and completely irresponsible, in my opinion. Whether or not you agree with the action, these "loose lips" are going to get the people on the ground killed; it's going to endanger far more people that it will inform.

 Thoughts?
