Another non-environmental wonder

Bill Keller has an extraordinary story today in the NY Times, describing his paper's involvement in Wikileaks and what it took to write the stories they did in conjunction with Der Spiegel and The Guardian. It is a must-read.

Of all the gems buried inside it, however, this is one of my favorites:

"I have vivid memories of sitting in the Oval Office as President George W. Bush tried to persuade me and the paper’s publisher to withhold the eavesdropping story, saying that if we published it, we should share the blame for the next terrorist attack. We were unconvinced by his argument and published the story, and the reaction from the government — and conservative commentators in particular — was vociferous."

Yeah. Here's to 2011.
