A Republican senator on Saturday accused The New York Times of endangering American security to sell a book by waiting until the day of the terror-fighting Patriot Act reauthorization to report that the government has eavesdropped on people without court-approved warrants.
''At least two senators that I heard with my own ears cited this as a reason why they decided to vote to not allow a bipartisan majority to reauthorize the Patriot Act,'' said Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. ''Well, as it turns out the author of this article turned in a book three months ago and the paper, The New York Times, failed to reveal that the urgent story was tied to a book release and its sale by its author.''

Time we did something about the Times.
In addition to simply not buying it?
If anyone ever doubted that the dems and their media arm, the NYT, would sacrifice all of us to their lust for power, this should put that doubt to rest.
You're NEW here, aren't you....?
>>>I think the Gray Old Hag jumped the shark with this latest stunt.<<<
She's been jumping the shark repeatedly since the Jayson Blair episode...she just don't know she's dead yet.
Wow, if this is related to a book promotion, all hell should break loose.
That would be a bit easier if the US was in a declared war ( Babary Pirate episode notwithstanding ).

(wow)

Troll-patrol is quick tonight.
Agreed, but will ANYTHING happen to them because of this, is the burning question.
Anyone have a few JDAM's lying around?
"Cornyn is soooo sorry. He is a lacky for what ever is going on. He will never be reelected because he is just a mush mouth bottom boy."
Thanks for the entertainment..Your post is an excellent example of liberal intellectual superiority. Did you think that up all by yourswlf?
The New York Times is America's Al Jazeera. they have utter disdain for the rank and file citizen. In fact, they can't even seem to rise above their pettiness and address the President as anything other than Bush.
"Bush on Saturday also attacked the disclosure. ''As a result, our enemies have learned information they should not have,'' Bush said in his weekly radio .."
I'm picturing three white minivans pull up in front of the Manhattan offices of the New York Times a la Elian Gonzalez - a ring of officers quickly jumps out, as a team walks in and empties the contents of that book author "journalist" into boxes as evidence. Hands the turncoat a subpoena.
Then jumps back into the minivans and drives away with the contests of his office.
Elapsed time: 2 minutes.
VIVA BUSH. :)
I only hope that anyone that subscribes to the NY Times cancels their subscription pronto! That's the only message that will get through!
