Suing the NY Times for dis-closing classified information
Just Truth Please

Posted on 06/24/2006 3:24:43 PM PDT by just truth please

To the Lawyers in Free Republic land: How would a Citizens Action Group go about filing a lawsuit against the NY Times for their, seemingly, illegal release of classified Government information? It seems obvious the US Attorney General is not going to. Someone, some how needs to get this moving. Free Republic might be a good starting point.

According to David Johnston and Scott Shane of The New York Times

Oh that is downright hilarious! Using the NYSlimes as your source about what's being done about the leaks.

The reporter who ran is not authorized, and he knew it. They are just as guilty..

Agreed!

Stock holders suit would be more effective.

Split 100 shares 100 ways you have a class action.

Fabricated stories and leaked stories are driving down stock values.

I always look at the end results. The leaks keep coming and our safety is being compromised.

Classified info is for authorized folks only. Thats why its classified.

It's really the other way,

You don't release classified information and then say whoops.

Its quite simple-only those with a clearance are authorized to access it. A NYT reporter would have no reason for a clearance. Ergo-both are culpable, as he had to view the info to write the story..

Seems to me a better tact would be a mass email campaign to companies that support treason by advertising in the Slimes.

Yes, definitely! AND, we need to also add the administration on the mass email campaign, demanding they go after the leaker.

THIS CANNOT STAND!

Everytime I see the photo of people hanging their heads
out of the windows of the WTC I just go ballistic. Really. It makes me really want to kill somebody (the enemy.) Why is America still allowing Arabs/Muslims to come to our shores and settle here or even allowing them to just transit our territory? It infuriates me. Why are Americans tolerating these people and their insulting behavior and remarks thrown at us?

I for one find their actions very frightening...

Dear Attorney General;

I am writing to you to express my dismay that National Security Secrets have again found their way into the Press. I am deeply concerned at the negligence of those involved and the high crimes that are being committed.

As a citizen of the United States, I would like to see prosecutions begin regarding those who are 'leaking' secrets to the press and I would like to see the reporters, editors, and publishers of those secrets at least have charges filed against them.

The failure of your office to enforce the laws that protect America is both disappointing and frightening to the citizens. At this time we feel defenseless in that no one is willing to prosecute actions that are clearly against the law. Actions that border on treason and aidding & abetting the enemy.

The mainstream media does not want you furious at the enemies of the United States. There was hardly no mention of the barbaric torture and slaughter of the two U.S. Soldiers that were captured. They do not want you looking at pictures of 9/11 because it may give rise to a righteous anger. But the MSM wants you to look at pictures of our poor enemies being humiliated by the U.S. Armed Forces. Its a twisted logic that the MSM is engaged in that will probably cease if ever a democrat win the presidency.

Some enterprising cartoonist here at FR should depict a bleeding pen, labeled the NYT, stabbing the heart of the World Trade Center. Or the Sears Tower. Either one would work and get the point across.

Try a fiduciary responsibility to the minority shareholder class action suit.

The management have put the shareholders at risk for knowingly violating the Espionage Act. They admitted their knowledge.

If I were a shareholder, I would be real pissed at their stupidity. At the very least, the lawsuit might just draw out some additional information to help the government. Anything to get the barking traitors on the stand and under oath as far as I am concerned.

Going after the NYTimes advertisers is a waste of effort.

The NYTimes is not controlled by its shareholders, nor by the profit motive. There are two classes of voting stock. The Sulzberger family controls 91% of the Class B stock that controls the NYTimes. From (a good read) BusinessWeek Online: The Future Of The New York Times (JANUARY 17, 2005):

Like other Old Media families, the Sulzbergers have been able to maintain unquestioned control of their company by creating a new class of voting stock and reserving most of it for themselves. Among them, the various branches of the Sulzberger family control 91% of the Class B voting shares.

A month ago, I heard news of a shareholder revolt, but haven't noticed anything of it since. See further: New York Post Online: SHORT TIMES-ERS TRADERS BOOST BETS ON FALLING SHARES (May 5, 2006).
