I'm not sure how you attribute that belief to me.

I simply said that the New York Times and Wikileaks have different procedures for dealing with information leaked to them.

I never said anything about what should or shouldn't have been exposed.

Playing devil's advocate here, but several of the men were actually armed. The controversy was not whether unarmed men were killed, but that two Reuters journalists who were among them were killed. Also, the NYTimes didn't break the story, the Washington Post did.

Can't reply to the child, but I'll just say I'm super pleased with this disagreement / thread in general. Polite discourse hasn't died on HN!
