    Some British officials have suggested that the information was leaked by U.S. officials, but it isn’t clear where The Times got the information. Manchester police chief Ian Hopkins said the story and photographs were “distressing” to victims’ families. Prime Minister Theresa May is due to discuss the issue with President Donald Trump at a NATO summit in Brussels.

    The Times said in a statement that “the images and information presented were neither graphic nor disrespectful of victims.” It added that its coverage of the attack “has been both comprehensive and responsible.”

    Reporters who leak classified more sensitive information should be arrested and thrown in jail. The media is becoming a threat to National and International Security.

    No surprise from the failing NYT.

    Don’t forget as bad as Trump is for telling the ruskies who about the secret ISIL spies had the NYT and the WP not opened their mouth, those spies would not have been at risk and noone would distrust the USA (bceause the would not know) The Failing NYT constantly puts us at risk
