Of course this is assuming the NYT didn't voluntarily give up the source and then ask the government to send them this letter. Given the NYT's history with whistleblowers, I have trouble seeing how anyone is taking this story at face value.
- jasonlotito 8y agoWhile the reporter works for NYTimes now, she was working at Buzzfeed at the time. It wasn't a NYTimes source.

Still though, it's pathetic that the NYT pretended like they were going to publish the story about mass illegal wiretapping by the NSA and then buried it to get Bush re-elected, and now are complaining about the government reading their reporter's emails. As if this isn't completely deserved.
