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
BTTT
I bet it's someone in the CIA. But we should put the reporter in front of a grand jury and find out.
A Senator is difficult to get, but not impossible, they are subject to the law, although there are serious Constitutional limits on what/when they can be prosecuted. Staffers have zero legal protection that any other citizen does not also have. Them we can get.
As if they weren't now. They are Martyrs to the Cause.
THE ENEMY WITHIN.
Indeed!!
As if they weren't now. They are Martyrs to the Cause.
Very true, El Gato. And Salem, do some research. At the time they were caught and tried the media and hard Left portrayed them as heroes, guiltless and as Saints. They kept the propaganda up relentlessly for several decades until the Rosenbergs were absolutely proven guilty by release of the Venona code transcripts. The media didn't publicize their guilt, of course, but now claim the death penalty was too harsh for the crime. As if any punishment is too harsh for treason that might have resulted in the nuclear annihilation of millions of innocent Americans!
We can't be hypocrites here. Bill Gertz has written more than one book with classified info on China and other issues. He did the same research this author did.
Don't get so caught up in support for Bush that it clouds your judgment. That's exactly what Clinton supporters did and what Clinton depended upon.
If you are informed on the facts and the severity of the violation in terms of the risk it represents to our national security, and the evil it exposes in the Americans who have chosen to commit this crime against their country .. and still maintain this view, all I can say is thank God I don't have your brain. I pity you.

"It's a loophole that is allowing big donor money into the process," said New York Rep. Tom Reynolds, chairman of the House Republican campaign committee. Reynolds who noted that four donors including billionaire George Soros together contributed $80 million to Democratic-aligned groups in 2004, and that four Republicans including Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens contributed a combined $23 million to groups supporting the GOP.

The George Soros-funded campaign to legalize marijuana has run into a problem. Joseph Smith, convicted and sentenced to death for the abduction, rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia, has been exposed as a pothead.

Soros-owned fund sells stake in S.Korea brokerage
SEOUL, Dec 15 (Reuters) - An investment fund partly owned by U.S. billionaire George Soros has sold most of its stake in a South Korean brokerage for 82.7 billion won ($81.6 million), the fund said on Thursday, almost doubling its initial investment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soros was participating in a special plenary session of the UN General Assembly to discuss the implementation of the UN Millennium Program in Tajikistan, the poorest country of the former Soviet Union. In the interview, Soros denies that his foundation is attempting to foment revolution in Tajikistan or any other country.
We gather together ....... ALL TO DESTROY BUSH AND CHENEY

MUST SEE TV: President George Bush speaks LIVE tonight at 9PM ... GO GET 'EM, W!!! Hang 'em high, and God be with you.
Here, here!! (Former FLoridian here, replanted in the cold north ;)
I don't need your pity and I will not support a violation of the law (if that has occured). My concern is not that GWB abused the power of his office but has set a precedent. Next time the Dems win the WH (and trust me they will steal it one day) and they use these sort of tactics will you support them as well? When they start watching whomever they want don't whine because you've already gave them carte blanche.
Just who is supporting a violation of the law and where are you getting that there was one?
I said if there was a violation. Further spying on people without a court order and convincing yourself that that is a good thing is the first step on a slippery slope.
Again I ask in all honesty will the same people who now are supporting this, support the Dems in the future. I higly doubt that the Dems will use this precedent for the well-being of the average american.
SCUMBAG anti-American traitor.
