The NYT sat on this story for over a year and it appears during that free time, they did NO research into the legalities underlying the NSA story. The NYT acts solely as a mouthpiece for the lefty leakers that are looking to undermine this President and the nation's security.

It's easy for the Times to print their crap and call it a day. However, when they are confronted with the facts, they clam up.

This isn't an issue that's quite as easy to understand as forgery and fraud, which brought down Dan Rather. But it must be said that Hindraker does a superb job of presenting his case, in language that anyone of reasonable intelligence should be able to understand. I don't see how it could be written any more simply and straightforwardly while still doing justice to the facts.

This article needs to be distributed as widely as possible.

Maybe someone should alert Rush and Drudge, if they haven't already seen it.

This is very good work. I can see why the Times writer didn't reply. My guess is he couldn't without first clearing an answer through higher ups who in turn are probably conferring with their lawyers right now.

Haha!

How sweet it is, my friends. Those ultra-brainy liberals and their latest "scandal" have been shot down in a matter of days.

They never learn, do they?

I read this directly from the Powerline site a little while ago and am glad you posted it. Interesting exchange.

Even if the NYT was a completely impartial muckracker, there's not much chance in getting a Pulitzer without stirring things up. All the incentive in MSM is for bending the story in some way. I think a person is more likely to get the truth out of journals and the web.

Some officials familiar with it say they consider warrantless eavesdropping inside the United States to be unlawful and possibly unconstitutional, amounting to an improper search. One government official involved in the operation said he privately complained to a Congressional official about his doubts about the program's legality. But nothing came of his inquiry. "People just looked the other way because they didn't want to know what was going on," he said.


Not sure this is related to that, but sounds as if Rocka feller could be the Times contact.

Why was this story not the "October Surprise" in 2004?
