You are a genius Doug... seriously.
I hate these anti-American traitors. A POX on the house of Slutburg.
This fiction about yesteryear is indeed a deadly parody of current fact. Whose side are they on, anyway?
Whose side are those on, who support them?
Send this to Rush, Hannity, Medved and the like. Great comedy is always rooted in truth.
We need one about whether it was "constitutional" to intercept the ULTRA messages.
Doug, there is no doubt that the NYT would have published
the news of the failure of "Operation Tiger" if they could
have found out about it.
Operation Tiger was a mock landing preparitory to the invasion, it was staged to train US troops, several LSTs
were torpedoed by German E boats with the loss of over 750
men.
A disaster no matter how you look at it, with neglect by the Royal Navy having pride of place.
The US Peoples "right to know" would have trumped any
security concerns the NYT might have had.
Look it up.

How about Pearl Harbor?
Hard to imagine any Democrat doing that today ....

Doug, one addition:
Aides to Gen. Eisenhower told the Times anonymously that Gen. Eisenhower has no exit strategy, a fatal flaw in Overlord. Some retired military men (one, at least, a marine who won medals in the First World War) suggest that Gen. Eisenhower should call off the invasion because it may lead to terrible losses among the Allied troops. He said that the United States military can do no further good on the Continent and should be brought home to guard the home front.
Gen. Bernard Montgomery, hero of El Alamain in North Africa, agreed with this sentiment. "Monty" defeated Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (Germany's "Desert Fox") in tank warfare beginning at El Alamain in Egypt. He drove Rommel and his troops from North Africa.
Gen. Montgomery has been rather vocal in his belief that he should have been chosen to lead Operation Overlord rather than Gen. Eisenhower. He said that he is prepared to lead the remaining Allied armies to victory in Europe if the United States withdraws its troops. General Patton is rumored to have snorted "Montgomery has no exit strategy, either".
There is substantial feeling in the Congress, particularly among some who served valorously with the AEF in the First World War, that the troops should be brought home. FDR is being blamed for many of the losses, along with Winston Churchill.
"This just in: The Times has learned that General Patton's First Army Group, long expected to lead the Allied invasion across the English Channel to Pas-de-Calais, does not exist and may be an elaborate deception. Congressional Democrats aware of this information are promising swift hearings to get to the bottom of this misinformation, which may include paying the media to place false stories aimed at confusing the enemy. Remember for all your late breaking war disinformation, turn to the New York Times."
Hitler probably wouldn't have believed it anyway. Everybody knows the NYT always lies.
You will appreciate the fact that at least this time I am awake :) Good one, doug!
Just a prediction, but one day, I think some "anonymous source" will gleefully have a field day passing on bogus misinformation to the NYT/Washington Post/LA Times, hopefully putting the final nail in the their coffin of credibility. (And no, it won't be a traitor like Joe Wilson).
****OPERATION OVERLORD maims and kills French children.
****Democrat Congressmen say "No Blood for Frog Legs".
****Gold Star Mother demands an end to the war and a second meeting with FDR.
****FBI has been wiretapping Nazi spies in U.S. without a court order.
On the eve of the invasion of Sicily, Dwight Eisenhower actually told a roomful of correspondents the particulars of the invasion. He said that he wanted them to have a FEEL for the pressures that he was undergoing with his grave responsibilities to control the release of critical information. The main difference between then and now is the fact that he knew that they were all, to a man, American patriots first and reporters second.
