It seems that the New York Times, which divulged a classified program aimed at tracking terrorist financing a couple weeks ago, has decided that their initial "public's right to know" defense was inadequate and is falling back on their "everybody knew" defense.

Patterico has helpful details here and here.

I'd also like to note that after last week's editorial in the Union-Tribune endorsing the Times' disclosure, Insight editor Robert Caldwell had an article in today's paper taking the leakers -- and their journalist enablers -- to task.
