NY Times Promoted Intelligence Program They Later Outed

Hugh Hewitt has an excerpt from a NY Times editorial that was published shortly after the 9/11 attacks:
The Bush administration is preparing new laws to help track terrorists through their money-laundering activity and is readying an executive order freezing the assets of known terrorists. Much more is needed, including stricter regulations, the recruitment of specialized investigators and greater cooperation with foreign banking authorities. There must also must be closer coordination among America's law enforcement, national security and financial regulatory agencies....If America is going to wage a new kind of war against terrorism, it must act on all fronts, including the financial one.
And yet, as time went by and the program they promoted was effectively helping fight the war on terror, the Times felt it necessary to reveal the program to the world and to the terrorists, more or less ending the effectiveness of this program and further endangering Americans.

Pull their credentials.
