TIMESMAN TIPPED OFF TERROR CHARITY: FEDS (NY Times Correspondent Accused)
New York Post ^ | 9/29/04 | CARL CAMPANILE

Posted on 09/29/2004 12:43:10 AM PDT by kattracks

September 29, 2004 -- The Justice Department has charged that a veteran New York Times foreign correspondent warned an alleged terror-funding Islamic charity that the FBI was about to raid its office — potentially endangering the lives of federal agents.

The stunning accusation was disclosed yesterday in legal papers related to a lawsuit the Times filed in Manhattan federal court.

The suit seeks to block subpoenas from the Justice Department for phone records of two of its Middle Eastern reporters — Philip Shenon and Judith Miller — as part of a probe to track down the leak.

The Times last night flatly denied the allegation.

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of Chicago charged in court papers that Shenon blew the cover on the Dec. 14, 2001, raid of the Global Relief Foundation — the first charges of their kind under broad new investigatory powers given to the feds under the Patriot Act.

"It has been conclusively established that Global Relief Foundation learned of the search from reporter Philip Shenon of The New York Times," Fitzgerald said in an Aug. 7, 2002, letter to the Times' legal department.

He said he understood journalists' concerns about protecting the identities of their sources, but national security and preventing leaks that thwart probes into "terrorist fund-raising" trump such confidentiality.

Thanks for the ping, Cyncooper.


Why is is not shocking that the NY Times would be mixed up in something like that...

These are scary times.

The Times must be getting desperate because they sent me an unsolited request to sign up to receive their newspapers.

I'm removing my name and sending back the paper in their envelop on THEIR dime with a few choice comments written on their solicitation letter. I'll be sure to include a comment about this.

If that isn't set up as its own thread, it needs to be.

Don't know where else to make note of it so found this thread. Brit's round table, second segment spoke of CIA vs. Bush administration.

Fred Barnes (doesn't strike me as given to hyperbole) said about 50% of the CIA is out to undermine this administration.

I have long said I suspected the Plame business, for example, was indicative of exactly that.

Whether Porter Goss can clean it up soon and effectively remains to be seen, they noted.

Also I think it was Mort who said the administration suspects deeper and stronger link between Iraq and Al Qaeda and the reason they have stuck to absolutely irrefutable examples of proof is because that faction in the CIA would leak contrary (and implicit is contrary to the facts) information to undermine. The recent leak about the memo that was characterized (media hype per the dem talking points they were parroting) as briefing the administration of post-war Iraq is another example of this CIA anti-administration group.

I'm so glad you captured that!

I was listening carefully and then, at the crucial moment, the doorbell rang and I missed some of it.

Thanks so much for that reporting. Especially in light of the thread I have spent so much time on today :-)

The Jersey Girls would vote for OBL before they would vote for Bush.

I just remembered that Mort called the CIA undermining "rank insubordination".

Why tip them off that you're not interested? Let them send you letters and toss them. It costs them money.

Now THAT is scary. Just one more reason why we desperately need Bush in the White House for another 4 years. These snakes are willing to undermine national security for their own political agendas.... utter traitors :-(

Rebecca Gomez just correctly pronounced "Plame".

I'm pleased.

Maybe she received the calls from him and relayed them to someone else?

Could very well have asked them to sit on a story they already had not to blow the raid.

And if the journalist is enjoying the protection provided by the feds, they do have a responsibility not to undermind the investigation. That's the basic duty of any citizen, reporter or not.

I agree with you.
Gore was supposed to win, and when he folded, powes above him forced him to fight to the death. He couldn't do it because he is "inside" DC, so he caved.
Rumsfeld has changed the Pentagon culture so much that it would take years to turn around - and that's just one area the Left cares nothing about.
Indictments will come before the election, and they will be huge.
