@emptywheel@Sulliview Yes I saw that response. Most interesting aspect was revelation that nyt has secure communications w#AQAP. -
@jacklgoldsmith Well, has secure communications, Could even be securedrop, no? Seems like we should applaud that.@Sulliview -
@emptywheel@Sulliview I don't see why we shld applaud. Please explain! -
@jacklgoldsmith Bc sources of all kinds in Yemen are at great risk talking to journos.@Sulliview -
@emptywheel@Sulliview Ok, but why important to protect an AQAP source who is mouthing its views? -
@jacklgoldsmith BC understanding loose affiliations of terrorists in Paris is worth it? Why did CT sources in story get it?@Sulliview -
@emptywheel@Sulliview ok we disagree on proper limits on means of reporting. Original point simply that nothing wrong w Comey weighing in. -
@jacklgoldsmith At time of 9/11, Peter Bergen one of most knowledgable Americans on AQ, bc he met w/OBL, securely. Should we arrest him? - 2 more replies
