 You're exagerrating, but since you won't read the article I won't bother to explain how.
Fortunately, we can all rest comfortably, knowing that "any simpleton" who would want to build a nuke could not POSSIBLY have had access to that same information via the Internet.

 So you wanted the headline to read "Times Decides Publishing Classified Information Is Bad"?   Where would the phrase "Bush Administration Tells Arabic-Speaking World How To Build An A-Bomb" go?

Saddam was only a year away from a developed nuke, from the 1990s through 2002?  That's one long-ass year.
