NY Times Reporter Body Armor Vulnerability Analysis

Author: Red Square,

Location: Karl Marx Treatment Center

Earlier this year the New York Times courageously exposed vulnerabilities of US body armor, accompanying the story with a controversial diagram and a leaked Pentagon paper in a PDF file, identifying the best areas to shoot at. Today the Pentagon responded by releasing a diagram that details vulnerabilities of the New York Times journalists, which analysts predict is about to become the focus of a new media fury.

"The Pentagon released the results of their secret research despite our strongest objections," said Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times, in an urgent statement. "It can seriously damage our ability to gather and publish information that is harmful to the United States."

"This is clearly a retaliation for our recent exposure of the US surveillance of foreign bank transactions, as well as our diagram revealing weak spots in US military gear," Keller continued. "But the both stories presented a great public interest. We are an international paper serving the world community, and if al-Qaeda subscribers of the New York Times are interested in how they can inflict the most damage on imperialist Western crusaders, it is our obligation to provide them with a diagram."

This is some excellent and biting satire aimed right at the heart of the unAmerican Marxists at the New York Times. Link over to read the rest of the posting at The Peoples' Cube. They will not be laughing in the newsroom at the NYT...you can count on that. In the meantime, I will be e-mailing this Peoples' Cube posting to every NYT e-mail address that I can locate on their website...

eggzactly what I've been saying. If a single death could be tied to these leaks and the publication of the info, the NYT would be toast.

Now, there's an idea...

Someone could case the NYTs building, and recruit security guards as anonymous sources and then publish the weaknesses in their security.

One could even go a step further and use the blueprints to identify critical load bearing walls and columns.

How about publishing Bill Keller's home phone and cell phone number just like the Smoking Gun did with Rush's info. The same could be done to the key reporters and editors. I'm sure they'd love to hear from the public. I suppose nice photos of their cars including the license plates and their home addresses would help the public get in touch with them as well.

All that works too.

Of course, they'd sue harassment. Their privacy and security is sacred...

That's a fantastic idea. I know because I thought of it too.

Seriously, that would be just the thing to rub their nose in it (besides prosecution of course). Is the building a matter of public record? No reason it shouldn't be all over the Internet right? Perhaps even expert analysis of just how much explosive and where. After all, "Its nothing the terrorists can't figure out on their own right? And we all have a right to know.

Why not just post the names, photgraphs, addresses and personal information of the journalists involved in this kind of article. This kind of information, posted across the net on sites that might have a strrongly riled readership should bring the issue home to these treasonous presstitutes.
