Not only a disgrace, but illegal as hell. We cannot let this man leak again...

[mystery-ak]

Come on...sic the AG on the NYT!!!!!

[Diogenesis]

VP Cheney: "...... I think that is a disgrace."

President Washington: "I want Bill Keller.
I'll hang that traitor if it's the last thing I do on God's earth."

[Past Your Eyes]

Okay, so who are the scumbags that leak this stuff to the Slimes, anyway?

[new yorker 77]

Cheney: "What is doubly disturbing for me is that not only have they gone forward with these stories, but they've been rewarded for it, for example, in the case of the terrorist surveillance program, by being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for outstanding journalism. I think that is a disgrace."

Nicely put by the VP.

[marsh_of_mists]

Strong words from the vice-president. Will they be backed up with action? Imagine if this sort of thing had happened in 1942 or 1918. It's not just a disgrace. It's putting the lives of American citizens in jeopardy.

[BenLurkin]

"Some in the press, in particular The New York Times, have made the job of defending against further terrorist attacks more difficult by insisting on publishing detailed information about vital national security programs.

....

Publishing this highly classified information about our sources and methods for collecting intelligence will enable the terrorists to look for ways to defeat our efforts."

[TChris]

While I agree with VP Cheney wholeheartedly, I simply can't understand why these treasonous acts have not triggered any action on the part of the administration. When such serious and profoundly damaging acts are perpetrated, and unapologetically so, condemnation from the VP isn't going to get anyone's attention. Indictments, arrests and imprisonments are very much in order here.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but just how much treason is our president prepared to tolerate? Is there a treason meter in the White House that will let our POTUS know when enough is enough? Most people already think that line has been crossed.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

A liberal is someone who can look at the blood of innocents on their hands and say it's only a rash.

[DakotaGator]

I cry TREASON!

[OldFriend]

Let's not forget the Slimes reporting on secret prisons that may or may not exist.

Causing grief among our allies.

[LukeL]

It is a real shame how billions of dollars and 1,000s of hours of hard work can all be erased by the stroke of a pen.

It should be a felony for any reporter to print a story that can damage or harm national security. Also the paper that allowed the story should face a heavy fine and the editor who allowed the story to go to print should face jail time as well.

"In the case of al Qaeda we are not dealing with large armies that we can track, or uniforms we can see, or men with territory of their own to defend."

Uh, there is one thing in common -- fanatical Islam.

[MattinNJ]

He has not only endangered the lives of my fellow Americans, he has jeopardized the lives of my wife and child. Yet, I can do nothing or else I will wind up in jail while he is at cocktail parties laughing with his lib friends about how they have gotten away with it again. What's wrong with this picture?

In my lifetime, I would only place Reagan higher than Cheney. Please do something about this Mr. Vice President. Rheoric followed by inaction only fuels their fire.

[Non-Sequitur]

Not only a disgrace, but illegal as hell. We cannot let this man leak again...

Disgrace? Yes. Irresponsible? Definitely. But illegal? No, not according to the Supreme Court. The criminal act is committed by those who leak the information to the media. The only way things like this are going to be prevented is to find the leakers and throw them in prison.

I've been reading a book about Nazi Germany. It's funny how things don't change. Back in the 30's, after making a provocative move, Hitler would immediately call in the western press (namely the Times of London, the New York Times, and whatever the big paper in France is). Anyway, he would hold conference with them and just wax on and on about his love of peace and his distaste for war. Naturally, those publications drank this B.S. up went home and published it for an ignorant world to read. These big papers were efectively tying the hands of the west by rallying public sentiment against responding to Germany's provocations. Hitler used to sit back and laugh at how easy it was to manipulate the free press into doing his bidding. Do the Editors of our large news organizations realize that they are once again being used like whores?

[RAldrich]

He didn't mention a leak by the NY Times in the late summer of 2004 which damaged one of our biggest breakthroughs. The US, UK, and Pakistan uncovered a Pakistani al Qaeda member who operated a computer that was a clearing-house, with names and locations, for al Qaeda members planning attacks. It was the information on this computer that led to the security alert at that time related to photographs that had been taken and plans to attack large financial institutions in New York, Newark, and Washington D.C. The information led (finally) to the arrest of Abu Hamza, the radical Islamist preacher at the Finsbury Park Mosque in London. The intelligence services didn't want this discovery disclosed because by keeping it secret they could discover who was communicating with that computer system.

The NY Times got wind of what was going on, and even though Condoleeza Rice begged them not to disclose the information, they did - on the front page. So the London police had to go crazy rounding up everyone they were aware of in a great hurry, instead of being able to watch them to see who further would turn up. The UK intelligence were furious with us.

[Mr. Keys]

The real disgrace will be when the Slimes gets away with this crap again. Once the "It's a disgrace" talk dies down it will be over. It always is.

[potlatch]

This quote by George Washington also applies to how our Troops are presently being supported. Outright treason by our media and some politicians can have a devastating effect.

[RetiredArmy]

The Slimes and its puppets in the MSM ARE THE ENEMY. They simply hate America as it is. They want a socialist-homosexual utopia. Thus, they are simply aiding and abetting their faithful followers abroad and here. They are giving intel to their friends of gee-had. They are the enemy. Problem is, many Americans simply do not know or care.

[N. Theknow]

But the really, really important thing is who leaked Valerie Plame's name? The nation is in grave peril for that leak.< /sarcasm >
