Patterico thinks Calame, whose admission is published here, should resign.

Byron CalameWhile I can understand the sentiment behind Patterico’s call, it’s going to take a lot more changes at the NYT besides a potential Calame resignation to get them to straighten up their acts.

The NYT simply does not know how to balance the public’s “right to know” with the government’s obligation to protect the American people.
