LET THE WORD GO OUT TO THE MASSES OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT
JAMES RISEN, AUTHOR OF "STATE OF WAR: : The Secret History of the C.I.A. and the Bush Administration," SET TO BE RELEASED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS,
IS APPARENTLY THE RECIPIENT OF CERTAIN HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND CLASSIFIED INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION, LEAKED TO HIM BY UNNAMED AND AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN US GOVERNMENT OR FORMER US GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS
AND, FURTHER, THAT HE AND HIS EMPLOYER, THE NEW YORK TIMES, IN THE INTERESTS OF DISCREDITING AND IMPUGNING PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, GINNING UP INTEREST AND SALES FOR THE BOOK, and SUBVERTING THE RENEWAL OF THE PATRIOT ACT,
HAS PUT THE SAFETY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND HER CITIZENS IN GREAT PERIL,
BY KNOWINGLY ILLEGALLY RELEASING HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND CLASSIFIED INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION, THEREBY AIDING AND ABETTING OUR ENEMIES IN A TIME OF WAR.
THIS OUTRAGEOUS ACT OF POSSIBLE SEDITION ON THE PART OF JAMES RISEN AND THE NEW YORK TIMES DEMANDS NO LESS THAN AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION ON THE PART OF THE CIA, THE FBI AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, PROMPT ACCOUNTABILITY AND SEVERE PUNISHMENT TO THE GUILTY CRIMINAL OFFENDERS, AND AN IMMEDIATE OUTREACH TO KNOWN BOOKSTORES (Amazon, Booksamillion, Barnes&Noble, etc.)AND OTHER RETAIL AND ONLINE PURCHASING SITES, ETC., DEMANDING THAT THEY REFUSE TO SELL THE BOOK OF SOMEONE WHO'S POSSIBLY GUILTY OF TREASON IN A TIME OF THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOD, SAVE US FROM OUR ENEMIES WITHIN
Thanks for the ping!
he's an idiot, he can't spell!
excellent , please let me know th eoutcome and if I can help in anyway .
Now, how do we catch him/her? It's probably a Rat Senator or staffer and there's not much that can be done unless there's hard evidence of some sort. I have an idea: maybe the NSA can monitor the phone lines of Kerry, Kennedy, Reid, Durbin, ad nauseum.
Perfect -- Ted Olson would be outstanding. This whole deal is so disgusting.
Merry Christmas!
Where is the Mafia when we could really use them?
Risen and his accomplices need the crap scared out of them.
This book should never make it to the presses.
Freedoms of speech and expression MUST have limits.
A line has to be drawn.
National security should be first and foremost.
The first amendment is the citation.
You CAN yell fire in a crowded theater if there actually is a fire. If there isn't, then it ceases to become free speech, so there isn't constitutional liberties being eroded by your arrest.
You are making an assumption that anything in this book would be useful to the enemy. I doubt that highly.
I think they should be hung whoever it is -- this leaking is beyond my comprehension and for the NY Times to publish is almost as bad.
Risen is a fart waiting to exhale.
If you did not read the clarity, and truth spoken by President Bush today, and you do not feel the same outrage that most of us here now feel!? I ask you to reconsider the facts...
The Treason charges just like any other charges go to a Grand Jury first via a Federal Prosecuter... just like clintons lies and perjury under Oath, Clintons and FOB mounted a defense, they won some and lost some,but we got justice! By no means did the Clintons get what most here think they deserve...
Delay, Fitzgerald et AL are being tried in a court of law with a very capable defense to get the truth out...Risen, ect. must be brought to justice at least by the court of public opinion, and if indited for having broken a law he will be tried by his peers as any citizen would...(Risen is a Pawn of NYT politcal machine.
We concerned itizens must demand accountability from our Government...this is no witch-hunt to get Risen...he is a puppet, this "LEAK" his Book...is a transparent effort to misdirect by the NYT, DNC, MSM dims to steal the Good news away from our Iraq success and the wonderful success the Patriot Act has had in stopping many, over ten domestic Al Quada attacks...this is my reasoned answer to your LOL mistaken understanding of the Constitution of the United States and the Oath the President is charged to protect, and as our commander and chief, he alone can launch a Nuclear Weapon at anytime if America is Threatened by one of the Axis of Evil Countries or other enemy...yet he cannot OK the NSA to do just the hell what all those Billions of dollars in technology is for to Protect Americans from our enemies Foreign and DOMESTIC... Hell we all know he has the Constitutional Authority to do just what he directed the NSA to do...the Dims know it too!!!
CELLS of Terrorist are already HERE... I will defend your right to believe what you do and say here...
I am extremely grateful you are in the minority about how serious this Leak in our Intelligence leadership! Letting this gross breach in security to go unpunished is now not an option for the Bush Administration!
Kerry has already shown his hand by calling for the immediate impeachment of George Bush as soon as they (sic)regain the majority in the House of Representatives...that is no joke for anyone who has seen the facts as much as this SOB has and still lies to all Americans...he is a bitter sick man, and in my opinion EVIL...I do not judge him or anyone...but I will keep my defenses up and I will do all I can to defeat him and all his communist followers, Count on that to be True...Jim
Milt Beardon's been heard form before- remember that lefty film "Uncovered : The War in Iraq?":
Not much to uncover
[http://washingtontimes.com/entertainment/20040819-111607-7931r.htm]- Washington Times - The movie ["Uncovered: The War on Iraq"] boils down to: "Containment was working." That position, of course, is the default worldview of folks at the State Department (former Ambassador Joe Wilson sure gets around) and the CIA, whom Mr. Greenwald relies on almost exclusively.
One can argue about the wisdom of their Kissingerian, balance-of-power, don't-rock-the-boat school of foreign policy. I laughed out loud when Milt Bearden, an ex-CIA honcho, said such thinking has served the world pretty well since the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia (the end of the Thirty Years' War). Mr. Bearden must have slept through the 20th century.
Also, I thought Robert Baer, another CIA dude, bordered on anti-Semitism with his snide little remark about how the neocons have never set foot in the Middle East, save for Tel Aviv — meaning they're all Jews. 8 posted on 08/20/2004 4:44:32 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe | To 4
Excellent post ..
He even looks a little like Benedict Arnold.
BTTT!
This excellent post to codify the truth of what all of our elected officials are bound to defend... we should all be seeking to defend same...as a Citizen! Communism is here and it has a right to say and print its agenda...it does not have any right to undermine, subvert and or steal our freedoms with lies and lawlessness...
Good point. I don't know what's actually in the book yet. But information is classified for a reason. Leaks, however small, or seemingly not grave, give one piece to a larger puzzle. It's the putting the pieces together from multiple sources with the other pieces that causes the harm.
Well , I wouldn't doubt if some Dems join up ..ANYTHING to get Bush out of office..I'm serious..think they wouldn't ?
