NY Times, great respector of National Security SecretsBy Tom Smith
It didn't seem to bother the NYT to "out"
this genuinely secret operation, in a story that probably actually did harm the WOT on the margin.
And AP
published pictures of Navy SEALs, even though doing so may have compromised their security.
(See also this interesting
update on where some of these incidents ended up.)
I suppose you could distinguish Rove by saying, unlike the press, it is not his job to undermine the nation's security.
