INDICT THE NEW YORK TIMES Henry Mark Holzer It is an article of faith on the Left and among its fellow travelers that the Bush administration stole two elections, made war on Iraq for venal reasons, tortured hapless foreigners, and conducted illegal surveillance of innocent Americans. A corollary of this mindset is that the press, primarily the Washington Post and The New York Times, has a right, indeed a duty, to print whatever they want about the administration—even if the information compromises national security. Not true. The press is not exempt from laws that apply to everyone else.. The press...

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has opened another investigation into leaks of classified information, this time to determine who divulged the existence of President Bush's secret domestic spying program. The inquiry focuses on disclosures to The New York Times about warrantless surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials said. The newspaper recently revealed the existence of the program in a front-page story that also acknowledged that the news had been withheld from publication for a year, partly at the request of the administration and partly because the newspaper wanted more time to confirm...

Thanks to a newspaper "scoop" last week, America is a safer place today for terrorists. Last Thursday the New York Times in a 3,600-word article exposed a top-secret program President Bush ordered shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. The National Security Agency captures and turns over to counter-terrorist analysts phone calls and e-mails of countless U.S. and foreign citizens. The terrorist agents, who read the newspapers, will now change their ways and blind our intelligence agents. The damage to American safety ranks with the worst intelligence breaches of all time. "It is a shameful act for someone to disclose this...

FBI and Justice Department finally investigate a real leak Jim Kouri December 30, 2005 The US Department of Justice has directed the Federal Bureau of Investigation to conduct an in-depth investigation in order to determine who disclosed a secret National Security Agency intelligence operation to a reporter from the New York Times. "We are opening an investigation into the unauthorized disclosure of classified materials related to the NSA," said DOJ spokesperson Trent Duffy during a press conference earlier today. When the New York Times suddenly broke the story about the NSA top secret operation Bush conceded that he indeed authorized...

    Enemy of the YearBy Enemy Central Published 12/30/2005 12:09:14 AM Late Monday we issued an APB -- by Tuesday morning our case was solved. By Tuesday afternoon we were receiving trauma counseling. By Tuesday evening we heard from FEMA, the ACLU, someone calling himself a special prosecutor, and a deserter code-named Howie D found once again wrapping himself in a white flag. So while we're assured of a generous federal handout for the cleanup work we're doing, it could be that we also acted hastily -- extra-judicially, so to speak -- in rounding up the usual suspects and violating...

Anyone watching this crap? Makes me sick that they cant hide their liberal bias and attacks towards the President.

A Quinnipiac University poll found that... Democrats to be highly depressed: Q.: Do you think 2005 was better or worse than 2004 for you personally? Republicans: Better: 65% Worse: 22% Democrats: Better: 41% Worse: 45% Time to cheer up Democrats. Politics isn't everything, and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid won't be your leaders forever, let alone Howard Dean.

Who is controlling the propaganda in the media? Not who, what. It all goes back to a dirty period in world history. What we're dealing with today is a kind of Frankenstein's monster, lumbering around the countryside of its own accord. Where did it come from? To know that, we need to look back in time. The darkest turn in human history can be called the two headed snake of Nazism and Communism, both left-wing socialist enterprises. Both are horrendous, both are responsible for mass death, and both are scientific methods for the acquisition and retainment of power. One of...

If the weather conditions are not right, we have learned that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower may delay the invasion for a day. OPERATION OVERLORD will be a massive Allied invasion of Western Europe that will include simultaneous landings on five beachheads...

NEW YORK - The National Security Agency has conducted much broader surveillance of e-mails and phone calls — without court orders — than the Bush administration has acknowledged, The New York Times reported on its Web site. The NSA, with help from American telecommunications companies, obtained access to streams of domestic and international communications, said the Times in the report late Friday, citing unidentified current and former government officials.

The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into whether Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leaked details about a secret "black ops" CIA satellite program last December in a move that may have seriously compromised national security, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Jed Babbin said on Saturday. "The CIA made a request to the Justice Department to investigate and possibly bring criminal charges against these three [senators]," Babbin told WABC Radio host Monica Crowley. "My information is that investigation is ongoing." Rockefeller is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Durbin is the No....

Ever since 9/11, the media and congressional critics have waged a relentless battle against President Bush for not doing enough to prevent the terrorist attacks. Now these same critics have begun a campaign against the Bush administration for doing too much to prevent the next attack. The latest example is the New York Times revelation that after 9/11, Mr. Bush authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to intercept communications with an overseas nexus to uncover information about possible al Qaeda attacks. The fact that Mr. Bush bypassed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which lays out procedures for intercepting communications...

The New York Times reporter whose National Security Agency eavesdropping article last Friday started a national debate about this issue didn’t appear as concerned with such espionage tactics when Bill Clinton was in the White House. As reported by NewsBusters on Monday, an intricate international communications espionage network, codenamed Echelon, has been in existence for many years. Yet, a LexisNexis search of the word “Echelon” and the name “James Risen” produced only one result. The article, entitled “The Nation: Don’t Read This; If You Do, They May Have to Kill You” appeared in the Times on December 5, 1999. By...

Democrat honchos, while forever complaining that President Bush has hurt America's image in the world, have themselves been engaged in a systematic campaign to slander President Bush, particularly over foreign policy, consequently undermining America's image in the world.

FED UP --- I'M MAKING THE SWITCH .... TO FOX.I've mentioned many times that I generally watch CNN in the mornings while I'm preparing for my program. Fox News Channel is definitely my first choice throughout the rest of the day, but that morning coffee-klatch "Fox & Friends" bit is just too much for me to stomach. Until now. My first 30 minutes of watching the morning news is generally spent in the workout room. That would be the first 30 Minutes of CNN's "Daybreak" with Carol Costello. During that first thirty minutes of CNN watching this morning I saw...

I received this in an email today. It shows the continued hypocracy of Kerry claiming President Bush is costing Americans jobs by sending too much business overseas...................................... American jobs are OUTSOURCED by John F. Kerry and his wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry! We need to ask: Why not manufacture in America and ship finished products overseas?

The photo at right was displayed on the website of Boston Capital & Technology and shows Senator John Kerry on an outsourcing trade mission he led to China. The BCT website, as of this posting, has been removed from the internet. We've captured as much of the website as we could, but some images now appear as broken links. Captured on our hard drive, however, is the picture from the BCT website showing Senator John Kerry at a banquet in Beijing China during the outsourcing trade mission. The BCT web site, presumably owned and operated by a Paul Marcus, head...

Kerry Led Outsourcing Team to Promote Manufacturing in China During the late 1990s, John Kerry traveled on a "U.S. trade mission to the People's Republic of China organized and sponsored by a private corporation." To prove the trip was a success, the Massachusetts-based firm of Boston Capital & Technology photographed Kerry in the Beijing Great Hall of the People. The image (above) and trip information appear at www.us-china.com, Boston Capital's Website The photo shows Kerry, an unnamed Chinese government official and Paul Marcus, the head of Boston Capital & Technology.

Boston Capital & Technology (BCT) recently held the first U.S. trade mission to the People's Republic of China organized and sponsored by a private corporation that was led by a U.S. Senator. To close the Mission, BCT hosted a banquet in Beijing's legendary Great Hall of the People. Through this Mission and dozens of other on the ground initiatives undertaken by BCT every year, BCT is able to advance their manufacturing projects in China, the projects of their partners and clients, and the position of dozens of other associated U.S. companies establishing positions throughout mainland China.

David Teather in New York Thursday August 5, 2004 The Guardian John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president, published a list of about 200 entrepreneurs supporting his run for the White House, in an effort to reassure voters of his moderate credentials. The list, not unexpectedly, included endorsements from players in the entertainment and fashion industries. Among the signatories were Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein; former Hollywood mogul Barry Diller; the chairman of Warner Music, Edgar Bronfman Jr; Dreamworks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg; Peter Chernin, the chief operating officer of News Corporation and Jann Wenner, chairman of Rolling Stone magazine's publisher, Wenner...
