You published the name because you are rat ba*tard Communists?
Sessions should be all over this.
The NYT offices should have been raided by now and all their files and everything confiscated pending prosecution.
Why We Published the Name of a Covert C.I.A. Official
What part of the word COVERT does the NY Slimes not understand?
They published the name because they are a pack of hypocrites who have no loyalty to their country.
may the times’ editors rot in hell.
Dear NYT: After being told by the CIA to not publish the name, you published it, endangering not only the individual, but his entire extended family. You admit you did this, using the justification that your feelings were more important than the safety of his family. Well, they’re not. Therefore, the American people have decided you all need to wear some white and black striped pajamas for a few years. Have fun with bubba and ms. bubba, although I have a feeling some of you will enjoy the experience. Love, America.
The American Public has the right to occupy the parts of the NYT building still devoted to creating Fake News.
I seem to recall a certain amount of froth-mouthed rage on the part of the NYT and DNC (but I repeat myself) over alleged agent Valerie Plame.
If it wasn’t for double standards, they’d have nostandard at all.
You are putting a target on this guy's back. Does the NYT not understand that the bad guys might find this information useful so they can retaliate against this man and his family?
NYT principals deserve the harshest punishment given to enemies of the state.
“We believe that the American public has a right to know who is making life-or-death decisions in its name.”
This is treasonous dishonesty.
To suggest that the public has the right to know such a program exists, and that the authority to carry it out comes from the top of the security chain of command is one thing.
To suggests it it important for public policy transparency that the public has a “need to know” who is giving final operational commands in the program is a lie. To say that is a public “need to know” suggests that “exposing” individuals involved in the program is relevant to whether or not the program ought to exist. It isn’t.
Exposing the classified individual is NOT exposing the program. It is exposing a classified ASSET, a human asset. By exposing that asset it puts that asset at retributive risk by our enemies. That is treasonous and has nothing to do with “exposing” the program itself.
Pravda on the Hudson lies about its motives all the time.
We believe that the American public has a right to know who is making life-or-death decisions in its name.
Isn’t it against the law to publish names of covert agents, regardless of reason?
I suspect they are engaging in brinksmanship to try to provoke action by the government which the MSM can falsely portray as the oppression of a fascist regime. They want an excuse to get rioters in the streets fighting fake “fascism”.
I have to wonder how upset the folks at the CIA really are over this. I mean, the NY Times is their favorite outlet for leaks undermining Republicans.
Paging Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson......
The failure here is entirely on the part of the CIA for operating in such a way as to allow their most important secrets to leak to the press.
I would much prefer to read about such CIA failures in the newspaper than to continue the charade that our intelligence agencies are doing their jobs responsibly.
Treason by the Constitution.
Despicable. Unconscionable. Actionable.
The end for the Times.
