THE NEW YORK TIMES’S Dec. 16 article that disclosed the Bush administration’s warrantless eavesdropping has led to an important public debate about the once-secret program.

"The public editor serves as the readers' representative. His opinions and conclusions are his own."
In other words, this is not the NYT's opinion.
Err... the 2005 election???
The Pulitzer and the Nobel peace Prize have both been used to further a liberal agenda.
Terrorists in this country have switched to tracfones to communicate as a result of the NYT warning them of the NSA's eavesdropping program. The NYT is on the side of the enemy.
