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.

Great find!

If the U.S. Attorney turns out to be correct, will we now be allowed to discuss, finally, the betrayal of this nation by the media elite in the Vietnam War? It is essential that we be able to do so to prevent the same thing from happening and win this War.

Or at least give him 20 years in a federal prison, which is what Taliban John received for helping the terrorists in Afghanistan.

IMO, what this NYT guy did was just a bad.

I'd love to know more details about this investigation, because Judith Miller's book, "God Has 99 Names" is an excellent country by country examination of the Islamic threat.

I think it was worse. At least John was fighting, picking his side and standing with them.

This TRAITOR pretends to work for the good of the US but stabs us in the back. All the while living off our civilization.

Much worse.

The NY Times is certainly in the midst of committing suicide. First, it gets caught with a reporter, Jayson Blair, fabricating stories. Now it has a foreign correspondent actually engaging in felonious, traitorous acts agains the US.

I hope the Justice Department can make a case here. It would be sooooo satifying to see these two perp walked out of the NY Times Building.

The New York Times is a pathetic joke. Incredibly, that newspaper once had a good reputation about 30 years ago, and my social studies teacher even made the class subscribe to it. See, back then the paper had snob appeal because the writers were good at finding multi-syllable words to use in place of simple words, and because the paper had no funnies section. Even us kids were quick enough to figure that out. Nobody actually read the thing.

Nowadays, the New York Post is clearly the class of the city.

Yes, now we know which side these ultra left-wing NY Times reporters are on. They are traitors who put their own political agenda ahead of the security of their country. I know how these people think: they are Liberals first and Americans second. They believe they're citizens of the liberal world and they're in this special Liberal World Citzen class that is above the laws of the United States.

"We deny he tipped anyone off," Freeman said.

He added that Global Relief would have anticipated the raid in any case because the feds had already hit the office of another suspected terror-funding Islamic charity, the Holy Land Foundation, and the government had frozen the assets of several other charities.

"He didn't tip anyone off, but even if he did, they would have known anyway." Sound familiar? Wasn't it last week CBS was saying the documents were real, but even if they weren't, the charges are accurate? They, like CBS, know the jig is up. They are attempting to minimize our just outrage by lessening our perception of the damage done by treason. These reporters should be held at Gitmo for a few months, then executed when the proof is flawless. They have made their choice, and letting them off will only serve to embolden their traitorous brethren in the liberal press. Our soldiers are dying to protect these bastards.
