The Espionage Act and the "New York Times"

If counterterrorism were a parlor game—and that is how, in their recent cavalier treatment of sensitive intelligence secrets, the Washington Post and the New York Times seem to regard it—Goss’s fretting could be easily dismissed. But every American was made aware on September 11 of the price of an intelligence shortfall. This is no game, but a matter of life and death.

"A matter of death and life" No truer words were ever spoken.!!!!!

Treason. I know it when I see it.

I am seeing it at the NYT, the Washingoton Post and other liberal MSM outlets.

Much of the shortfall of intelligence was in the brains of the alphabet soup agencies which could have easily seen the trouble that was brewing into 9/11. Almost all the perps were long overstayed on their visas.

We're much more careful now, as we ought to be, but no spying program is perfect (if it was, we'd have the conundrum of a secure police state).

If the NYT were an individual, the average American would consider him a traitor for revealing secrets during wartime.

But most people don't believe we're IN wartime.

Treason is so hard to prove.

However, when one breaks a clearly defined law like armed robbery, postal theft, IRS fraud, they broke the law. So go for the simple legal action, these people are dangerous criminals who broke the laws of the Espionage Act.

The Slimes and its homosexual marxist/pro Islamofascist reporters broke the laws of the Espionage Act. Charge them. Take them to court and prove that they and their leakers are guilty. Find them guilty and send them to jail. Run the cases as high up the Slimes management/ownership team where it can be proved that they aided, encourage and abetted breaking this very simple law.

If a few examples are set, this bs will stop. One can imagine Pinch in jail sharing a cell with Brutus.
