Yeah, Mark Steyn's great, but Deroy Murdock has the hot hand in conservative opinion.

Here's a taste of his takedown of The Times:

The most puzzling thing about the New York Times’s exposure of America’s counterterrorism secrets is that this Manhattan-based newspaper has no apparent sense of self-preservation.
