CBS lost its anchorman.
The NYT is not going to get a "Pentagon Papers."
Prosecuted under what law?
Once again the NYT,LAT etc have shown that because of their mutual hatred of President Bush they have once again betrayed our country. There is no doubt that these traitors are agents of Al-Quaeda. They would have published with glee that we had the Project Enigma codes of the Germans during WW2. When do our laws protecting the country from treason began to take effect. How much more aid to the enemy will we have to suffer before these traitors are put into prison where they belong?? I returned from Iraq after a 13 month tour in November and I shudder to think how many of my comrads were killed because of information that these traitors in the New York Times gave to the enemy!!

If the terrorists hit another building inside the U.S., may it be the NY TIMES.
How much more harm does the NYT have to do to this nation before qualifying for RICO violations?!
we should rendition them to Al Qaeda////let some heads roll
>>The Right to Financial Privacy Act, enacted by Congress in 1978 in the wake of United States v. Miller, allows just the administrative subpoenas Treasury has been using.<<
I looked up the code. It requires cause and notification to the customer. it looks like the current program involved large quantities of records to sift through and did not include notification.
>>§ 3405. Administrative subpena and summons
A Government authority may obtain financial records under section 3402 (2) of this title pursuant to an administrative subpena or summons otherwise authorized by law only if—
(1) there is reason to believe that the records sought are relevant to a legitimate law enforcement inquiry;
(2) a copy of the subpena or summons has been served upon the customer or mailed to his last known address on or before the date on which the subpena or summons was served on the financial institution together with the following notice which shall state with reasonable specificity the nature of the law enforcement inquiry:<<
I didn't elect the New York Times to make these decisions for me and I don't see that they have the right to decide national security issues.
WOW ... The WT sure smacked the Times upside their heads
Yes there is.
They are on the SIDE of the terrorists. Not to say they don't hate GW Bush, because they probably do.
But, the logical answer to all of their behavior....the Occam's razor that most easily explains it all...is that they are supporters of the terrorists.

2. The Times say it's a secret program. Not so. Many European bank executives knew of the program, obviously the SWIFT execs did, Dems & Rep of authorized congressional committees from both houses knew.
3. The Times gave the impression the U.S. rifles through, at will, databases for consitutionally protected data. The data is not constitutionally protected. More importantly, there are safeguards to view the data. Here is my brief recollection of the safeguards from the head of the U.S. SWIFT program from Brit Hume's Special Report:
A request is made to SWIFT for info on Abu Al-whatever along with valid (determined by SWIFT) reason/evidence for the search. The request is reviewed for approval. IF approved, the focused search is done. In realtime, SWIFT authorities monitor the 'viewing' and can shut it down if the 'view' goes outside the prescribed criteria.
Thanks NYT. You really saved the planet from a great injustice...not.
The only way to successfully handle this issue, in my opinion, is for the White House and the national Republican party to somehow fold this into the big picture of the war on terrorism, and the danger of having liberals in charge of anything in this country, and though of course because of a free press we can't shut down the Slimes (too bad) we can at least keep the Slime-bots out of positions of power in this country. Something like that. Somehow taking the extreme indignation that all patriotic Americans feel reading about the treason of the leftist media and channelling it into the electorial defeat of the party of Treason: the rats.
As does the person who leaked the info to them.
The liberals are waiting for another terrorist attack on the United States so they can blame the Bush Administration and the war in Iraq.
The NY Times and other mainstream media are giving the Bush Administration a HUGE excuse when the next attack occurs.
Liberals just don't know how to shut up.
I'd argue that any terrorist who didn't already suspect this type of thing was going on isn't smart enough to be much of a threat. Same with the phone tapping.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Evidently President Bush's wire-tapping program has deeply affected the NYT's ability to communicate directly with its terrorist contacts.
I know there's no actual wire-tapping going on.
