What Secrets Is the 'NYT' Keeping for Condoleezza Rice?

[rusty charly]

"Our civilly minded podmate Wonkette points out this meet-cute between Condoleezza Rice and the New York Times editorial board. Fairly standard boilerplate jousting from both sides, except for this amusing little nugget: Rice challenges the NYT for leaking basically anything the administration wants kept under wraps. Discounting her complaints, the NYT responds:

QUESTION: And we - this paper has kept some of your secrets for you, too.

SECRETARY RICE: I understand that and I appreciate that. But I think that when it comes to - you know, I'm speaking to the leaks problem. I know this is a major, major issue in the journalistic community. But I can tell you from the point of view of somebody who has to (inaudible) security (inaudible), it's a problem.

Of course, one assumes the NYTer speaking meant secrets kept by the NYT for the administration at large. Or ... was it something else?"

1. She's gay!!! She's having an affair with Bush! Probably the wire-tapping

2. It's re: the overseas secret CIA prisons.

NYT kept it secret for an entire year and cited fear of influencing the 2004 presidential elections as well as concerns for national security.
