The New York Times breaks silence

I know I shouldn't be, but I am amazed at how pompous that statement is. Absolutely, amazed!

[elhombrelibre]

Frankly, I'm aware of secret information which, if disclosed, would be front page news. I'm not convinced it should be classified. But that's not for me to say. I do not feel so arrogant that I will disclose what others in our government feel must be a secret. The whole role of the NYT begs some questions. Is there any tool we're using in the war on Islamic terrorists that the NYT would not share with the terrorists to assure their safety? Would they tell them when we are going to counter their attacks or where? Who would trust the NYT to know anything that might give free citizens the advantage against mass-murdering terrorists whom the NYT seems to see as an alternative lifestyle. Whose side is the NYT on in the war on terror? The NYT has distorted news and lied many times. Take the famine in the Ukraine, as just one example, and the fact that they never gave back Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize. Surely the NYT knows today that Duranty lied. How can the NYT pretend that it's some how above the law and that it views itself as a news organization that always tells the truth? Today, it has become the best friend al Qaeda has. Castro must be jealous.

I for one, cannot WAIT to see James Risen under oath....AND Pinch Sulzberger....

"Before running the story we gave long and sober consideration to the administration's contention that disclosing the program would damage the country's counterterrorism efforts," Mr. Keller said. "We were not convinced then, and have not been convinced since, that our reporting compromised national security."

The Rosenburgs could have used that line...but it wouldn't have worked back then.

They have admitted that before they printed the disclosure, they were asked NOT TO PRINT IT BECAUSE OF NATIONAL SECURITY!

Malicious intent anybody = TREASON!

They should be executed, and run out of this Country on a rail!

...all part of that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (of which I am a card-carrying member, thank-you).

[muawiyah]

Very good.

[TADSLOS]

Geez, what were you doing at that URL?

LOL! Yeah, I shoulda caught that one...Just picked it out of the google image lineup. There's not too many images of the place, not surprisingly.

[RayChuang88]

I have this feeling that a certain Arthur Ochs "Pinch" Sulzberger, Jr. might be doing a perp walk within the next few months.

[Starboard]

THANK GOD for the fact that THEY DECIDED what is best for the other 300 million Americans

Well said. This is a perfect example of the liberal superiorist mentality.

[kanawa]

Gotta laugh at their claim..."Vote4Change.net is not affiliated with any political party."
Yeah, riiight.

[standing united]

I agree with your post 100%

What really alarms me about this whole NYT disclosing "secret" and "classified" information to the terrorist is: WHO IN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS GIVING THIS INFORMATION TO THE NYT, TO BE SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE TERRORIST?

I mean, anyone in the government selling this "secret" and "highly classified" information to the NYT should be charged with TREASON and CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT TREASON.

Clearly, these government people are giving aid and comfort to the enemy by telling them our secrets!

The NYTs is safe. The Bush administration will downplay this crime. Once again, they will hope that by being nice to this voice of the DNC they will be nice back.

Of course it won't work. It'll just be seen as another sign of weakness.

[ANGGAPO]

It's called Treason and you can be shot for it.

Q: What do you call Pinch Sulzberger dangling at the end of a stout hempen rope?


A: A very good start.

[tsmith130]

A: Too little, too late?

Mr. Keller said. "We were not convinced then, and have not been convinced since, that our reporting compromised national security."

This is understandable because Keller, and his fellow editors and staff at the NYT, have never been convinced that the nation is at war or that our security is imperiled by radical Islam. This conclusion coming from an elite group that has legendary bad judgment discerning good from evil throughout history.

They will never be convinced of our shared peril until; 1) millions of Americans are dead at the hands of terrorists, or 2) they are punished for their crimes under the Espionage Act.

Being a people of justice and mercy, we have a duty to facilitate option 2 and hasten their conversion to the truth while defending our nation in the process.

The NYTs is safe. The Bush administration will downplay this crime. Once again, they will hope that by being nice to this voice of the DNC they will be nice back.

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

[Noumenon]

Perhaps, but you've got to start somewhere. Sends a message, too.

[NordP]

AGREED!
