Considering that you conflated the Risen/NYT leak with the Drake/Binney/ThinThread/WSJ story, I am not sure how you feel comfortable enough to say that Drake got in trouble for doing things through unofficial channels. If that is your central point, you got the most important detail here completely mixed up with another case. I charge that it is you who is doing a poor job of reporting (to say nothing of the Guardian).

That's an association the article made, not me. The indictment and court filings aren't specific about which reporters were involved. Either way, can you rebut the argument I actually made?

I agree that if we're going to hold Guardian stories to the standards of Hacker News comments, I have much less of a case. That article would make a fine Hacker News comment.
