Two days later, and the only thing on the New York Times online front page about the document leaks - the only US news source given the privilege of having the information for publication, and one of only three news sources worldwide - is an op-ed telling us that the whole thing is much ado about nothing, that there's nothing in those documents we didn't already know, and go on back to your reality shows, folks, because, meh, Wikileaks Schmikileaks.
And when you find something about it on the "inside" page "World", you find it rivaled in space by a section consisting of three headlined links, one of which leads to an article telling us how sickening it is that a member of the armed forces would leak classified information and yet greatly appreciative of the fact that we are now aware how complex and difficult intelligence collection is; another positing Pakistan intelligence position that they are unfairly maligned by the release of these documents, and the third is titled "Reactions to the Release of Afghan War Documents". But click on that, and you'll find an error page telling you the page you're trying to link to does not exist.
Please, return to your regularly scheduled broadcast and your patriotic backyard grilling.
