Now this is truly despicable -- but I've come to expect that sort of thing from the New York Times.
In their "Escapes" section the Times tells terrorists, cranks, and assorted busybodies exactly where Don Rumsfeld, Tony Snow, Dick Cheney, and other administration figures live, how to get there, and what the places look like.
Read the article here. For commentary go here and follow the links. Also here.
Apparently this has become common practice on the left. The Huffington Post printed personal information on the Swift Boat veterans who challenged John Kerry's account of his Vietnam experience.
Definitely not cool guys.
Gee, I wonder where Pinch Sulzberger spends his weekends.
UPDATE:
Glen Greenwald at Unclaimed Territory responds that much of this information is available from various public sources (like tax records) or by tracking the deployment of secret service personnel and that objections to the NYT piece is evidence of right-wing hysteria. [here] Maybe so, but he's missing the point. By prominently publishing this information the NYT is drawing attention to these places and provides a one-stop information shopping site for organized moonbattery, and in so doing makes trespass and unfortunate confrontations more likely in the future.
As I said above, this is not cool.
