Is there anything which a journalist discovers now - deemed too time sensitive to reveal?

What a perfect excuse for the continuation of US policy re reporters on the scene, around US activities in this arena: none, last I heard.

No, I have no easy slogans re the right to know vs. the hope of governments, to limit same - but amidst any conflict, let alone an enigma like the present - the above 'reporting' seems tantamount to espionage, in its potential harm and on a scale as high as:

The first atomic device used in war after Nagasaki; now rendered even more precipitate: use 'em or lose 'em!

As experienced and ordinarily reputable as Mr. Hersh is - I cannot imagine how he would decide to act as stupidly as is implicit here, whatever his political biases or even if he has few. No one could imagine this is a trivial matter, suitable for paid gossip and career enhancement. I sure as hell didn't need this titillation.
