During the trial of former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling, former National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice revealed Thursday she personally pushed The New York Times to kill a news article about a secret operation to disrupt Iran’s nuclear program. Sterling is charged with revealing classified information to New York Times reporter James Risen. Rice told the court the White House relies on two main ways to block publication of news articles. They can essentially confirm the report by arguing that it is too important to national security to be published, or they can say that the reporter has it wrong.
