NYT exposing Rumsfeld's home address? Two can play that game.
Here's the latest outrage from the New York Times: A story by Peter T. Kilborn exposing the locations of the private homes of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow and others.
Disguising his exposé as a feature story about the rich and famous in the Chesapeake Bay town of St. Michaels, Maryland, Kilborn names and describes the remote roads that Rumsfeld and Cheney use to reach their weekend retreats, exposes how their homes "are hidden down two-lane roads with cunning yellow signs on utility poles that say, menacingly and untruthfully, 'No Outlet,'" and gives the names of Rumsfeld's house and its location next to a named creek.
Accompanying the story is a photograph by Linda Spillers of Rumsfeld's driveway, showing the house at the end of the lane and a birdhouse at the front gate. Kilborn carefully reports that the birdhouse contains a security camera, and the copy editors point it out again in the photo caption.
Well, a big New York Times reporter is as much a public figure as a political leader. So if it's in the public interest to publish the exact locations where Rumsfeld and Cheney spend their private weekends, it's also in the public interest to show where the reporter lives.
Maybe somebody could do a feature of the rich and famous of hoity-toity Chevy Chase, Maryland, where Peter T. Kilborn lives. His house is just three blocks south of the exclusive Chevy Chase Country Club at 4007 Oliver Street, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. Good manners prevent this blog from publishing his phone numbers.
