More from the Liars Who Lie

It's pretty amazing that anyone is letting The Wall Street Journal get away with writing an editorial assailing the New York Times' "disclosure" of the banking records surveillance program, when the Journal wrote a story on that program too, at the same time as the Times story's release. Unbelievably, this is in the Journal's editorial:

Some argue that the Journal should have still declined to run the antiterror story. However, at no point did Treasury officials tell us not to publish the information. And while Journal editors knew the Times was about to publish the story, Treasury officials did not tell our editors they had urged the Times not to publish. What Journal editors did know is that they had senior government officials providing news they didn't mind seeing in print. If this was a "leak," it was entirely authorized....

What's good for this Wall Street Journal goose is apparently not good for the New York Times gander.

And somehow this is seen as 'consistent' on the right...
