In response to The New York Times' decision to publish top secret information regarding how the government tracks financial transactions of terrorists, Sergeant Timothy Boggs wrote the following letter to The Times:
Mr. Keller,
What ceases to amaze me about your paper is the lengths you are willing to go to make headlines and sell papers. Who cares if those headlines help the enemies of America, you guys are making money and that is what it is all about in the end right?
Your recent decision to publish information about a classified program intended to track the banking transactions of possible terrorists is not only detrimental to America but also to its fighting men and women overseas. I know because I am a sergeant in the army on my second tour to Iraq. As I am sure you don’t know because you aren’t in Iraq, and I am sure never will be, terrorism happens here everyday because there are rich men out there willing to support the everyday terrorist who plants bombs and shoots soldiers just to make a living. Without money terrorism in Iraq would die because there would no longer be supplies for IEDs, no mortars or RPGs, and no motivation for people to abandon regular work in hopes of striking it rich after killing a soldier.

Thank you for continually contributing to the deaths of my fellow soldiers.

Sgt Boggs has a good point, but I dont believe the New York Tomes publishes secrets to sell papers. In fact their readership is down.
IMO they publish anything that might hurt the Bush Administration and anyone who gets in ther way , such as America's military are collateral damage and they could care less.
It really makes my blood boil when the NYT claims that they out these secrets in order to protect our freedom. What they are really doing is endangering our very lives!!!WAY TO GO SERGEANT!!!
Good letter and good point. Sgt Boggs nailed it in saying there was absolutely no reason to print that story, it benefitted no one but terrorists.
Standing ovation for Sergeant Boggs! Prayers for our troops! My God protect them from our enemies, and our enemies within.
Here's a question Billy, if the Bush Administration captured the equivalent of the terrorist "Enigma" machine, would you rush out to report on it or keep it quiet for the sake of America's security? Honestly, I think you already answered that though.
And if anyone thinks Keller is the main reason the NYTs is so insanely pro-terrorist, just look at his useful idiot boss, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr.!!
It really makes my blood boil when the NYT claims that they out these secrets in order to protect our freedom. What they are really doing is endangering our very lives!!!
The NYT, as well as the ACLU, are indeed enemies of Freedom. Both are treasonous organizations and need to be crushed.
great letter... thanks for the post.
The ACLU is another organization that I absolutely despise. I wholeheartedly agree with you!!!
