I'm all for freedom of the press, but the NYT apparently needs to be reminded that with freedom comes responsibility.
The irresponsible editors and reporters of the NYT need to be held responsible for their actions.
Legally, criminally responsible.
In a startling breach of international etiquette, the New York Times today warned foreign intelligence services not to assist the United States. The warning was backed by public disclosure of highly secretive assistance provided to the U.S. military on the eve of the Iraq War."German intelligence services helped the United States invade Baghdad, and will now pay the price," the Times effectively told intelligence services worldwide. As it has in the past, the Times published classified information to bolster its latest attack on U.S. interests.
If Germany believed that Saddam posed no threat then why did they have intelligence agents in Iraq?
And for the record, the NY Times appears to be recycling old Michael Moore rants:
Michael Moore: Iraqi terrorists are "minutemen", American troops must shed blood (4/14/04)
I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle. I'm sorry, but the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.
Jesus H. Christ.
This is nothing more or less than total collaboration with the enemy. This is the definition of treason.
