Ain't that the truth ! Seems to me , the NYT had an obligation to report to the (pick one) White House/State Dept/Treasury, et al the name of the leaker and what he/she was peddling.

Please note the liberal POV: It is an attack on the media when the President objects to the release of classified information that puts American lives in danger. It is freedom of the press when the media puts American lives at risk in an attempt to discredit the President.

Bush Seeks to Use Media Leaks to His Advantage
Attack on Newspapers Continues as Some Democrats Accuse White House of Trying to Divert Attention
By Charles Babington and Michael Abramowitz, Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, June 29, 2006

President Bush rallied Republicans with another attack on the media last night, in remarks that highlighted efforts at the White House and on Capitol Hill to gain momentum from recent disclosures about classified programs to fight terrorism.

Senior administration officials say the president was outraged by articles in the New York Times and other newspapers about a surveillance program in which the U.S. government has tapped international banking records for information about terrorist financing. But his comments at a Republican fundraiser in a St. Louis suburb yesterday, combined with new moves by GOP congressional leaders, showed how both are working to fan public anger and reap gains from the controversy during a midterm election year in which polls show they are running against stiff headwinds.

Democrats, for their part, denounced Republicans for trying to divert attention from issues such as the Iraq war and high gasoline prices, and some terrorism experts said the White House is exaggerating the damage.

Republican House leaders introduced a resolution yesterday condemning leakers and calling on the media and others to safeguard classified programs. For the second time this week -- at an event on behalf of Sen. James M. Talent (R-Mo.) -- Bush attacked newspapers for disclosures he said make it harder for his administration to thwart terrorists.

"This program has been a vital tool in the war on terror," the president said, receiving a standing ovation. "There can be no excuse for anyone entrusted with vital intelligence to leak it and no excuse for any newspaper to print it."

Hours before Bush spoke, Democrats denounced what they saw as a White House-inspired campaign.

"This is all so people don't realize what else is going on," especially in Iraq, said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), who is heading his party's efforts to regain control of the House in the November elections. "This is disingenuous of both the White House and House Republicans."

The White House dismissed such claims. "This is not press-bashing. This is a clear disagreement about a decision to reveal a classified program," White House counselor Dan Bartlett said in an e-mail exchange. "Are we supposed to just sit back and take it?"

FOFLOL. I think the President (encouraged by that eveeeel Karl Rove) struck a nerve. Talk about a bunch of thin-skinned cry-babies !

Bush Sharpens His Attack on Democrats
President Comes to Aid of Vulnerable Senator in Missouri, Seen as Bellwether State
By Peter Baker, Washington Post Staff Writer, June 29, 2006

CLAYTON, Mo., June 28 -- President Bush attacked congressional Democrats and the news media at a Republican fundraiser Wednesday night, accusing the opposition of "waving the white flag of surrender" in Iraq and declaring that there is "no excuse" for journalists to write about secret intelligence programs.

Sharpening his rhetoric as the midterm congressional campaign season accelerates, Bush offered a robust defense of his decision to invade Iraq even though, ultimately, no weapons of mass destruction were found, and drew standing ovations for his attacks on those who question his leadership of the war or the fight against terrorists.

"There's a group in the opposition party who are willing to retreat before the mission is done," he said. "They're willing to wave the white flag of surrender. And if they succeed, the United States will be worse off, and the world will be worse off."

Bush's tone has turned tougher as he appears at more political events. At a Washington fundraiser this month, he said it was important that lawmakers "not wave the white flag of surrender" without asserting that any of them were actually doing so. In his appearance in this St. Louis suburb, he said directly that some Democrats want to surrender, adopting the more cutting approach of his senior political adviser, Karl Rove.

The Dims and their MSM co-horts would like nothing better than to change the subject. They all know the NYT, WaPo and LA Times went too far. I think they're all a bit anxious about this and who might be exposed. Especially since the President expressed his feelings in no uncertain terms. Most of the time he just plays them, "never explains, never complains", confident in the knowledge that when the facts are known he'll prevail. This is one of the first times they've seen a display of anger from him and I don't think they know what to make of it. LOL Wasn't it President Truman who said, "“I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

Playing with Rats ! hehehe

Wow ! 60 years ago, who woulda thunk it ! The Prime Minister of Japan receiving an official ceremonial welcome to the White House. The Prime Minister's father and the President's father fought against each other in WWII and now their sons are not only friends but heads of state and greet each other warmly in the United States. Iraqis, take heart.

I confess, I love this stuff :)

Excerpt from the President's greeting to the PM earlier today.

..... And we honor the leadership of Japan's Prime Minister Koizumi. He's a man of vision; he's a man of integrity; and I'm proud to call him my friend. I thank the Prime Minister for coming to the White House. And I'm looking forward to joining him tomorrow at Graceland. (Laughter.) Officially, he's here to see the President -- but I know the highlight of his visit will be paying his respects to the King. (Laughter.)"

Prime Minister Koizumi leaves office in September so this is his last official visit to the US. Koizumi is an unabashed Elvis fan. He was born on the same day as Elvis, and is president of an Elvis fan club. I think he might have even recorded a CD of some Elvis songs. I know he sang one in honor of President Bush at a dinner in Scotland (a G8 conference, maybe) (thankyouverymuch) LOL So, tomorrow, the President and the Prime Minister will travel to Memphis to tour Graceland.

Although its nearly impossible to determine under the Chef's togue, the White House Executive Chef is a woman of Philippine heritage. She is the 1st female executive chef at the White House. Of course, not much is made of that since it was Laura Bush who appointed her. LOL

Um, although its darned near impossible to read.... looks like the White House is serving a hearty meal this evening, if the first and second coarses are any indication. Maryland She Crab Soup and Texas Kobe Beef with Cracked Pepper.
