United States vs. Manning

2010-12-02

		Madam Speaker, the New York Times recently decided to print classified State Department documents obtained illegally by WikiLeaks. But one year ago, The Times declined to print information released during the ClimateGate scandal that showed scientists were hiding contradictory temperature data. Regarding its decision to print the WikiLeaks documents, The Times wrote: 'For The Times to ignore this material would be to deny its own readers the careful reporting and thoughtful analysis they expect when this kind of information becomes public.' In contrast, The Times said they did not publish the ClimateGate documents because, 'The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won't be posted here.' There is no better example of a double standard.
