In 1944, the Chicago Tribune managed to discover that the Allies had broken the German Enigma codes, and actually published a story about this. President Roosevelt chose to ignore this, and let the story die a natural death, rather than prosecuting it in the public spotlight, which would certainly have tipped our hand to the Axis.That said, I am always very leery of military curbs on journalists, and I hope DoD recognizes the delicate balance between freedom of the press, and operational security. |
