TIMES TELLS TOO MUCH? The New Republic is questioning the wisdom of The New York Times releasing key information about the capture of al Qaeda terrorists in Jordan. I kind of agree with them. This could easily force them to change tactics, thus making the future capture of other terrorists even more difficult.
Of course, it's also possible that the Times' sources knew that al Qaeda has already changed its communication techniques. I seem to remember some stories many months ago about other al Qaeda code words. For example, a "flower" indicated a biological attack, and so on.
