The weak Democrats are using the WOT for political gain, period. They're not concerned with civil liberties and constitutional rights. They're not overly concerned about our troops, either. They want their political power back and will do anything to get it.

Imagine what would (will) happen the next time we are attacked? The MSM and the Democrat party will attack the Bush administration for not being "vigilant." Bush will get the blame for "not protecting Americans."

They have complained about our intelligence prior to 9/11. Now, when efforts are made in foreign intelligence, they criticize them.

Worst of all, the government bureaucrats (who are almost all Democrats) look for every opportunity to subvert Bush's and the military efforts in the WOT, with leaks and sabotage from within.

Folks, this is beyond political hardball. It is Treason.

It's a shame Barbara Olson was on that plane that crashed into the Pentagon, instead of these journalists who see no evil.

This should give the President another 10 point boost in ratings. To find, prosecute and execute the traitors priceless.

The problem as I see it is this: These major newspapers and their journalists do not see themselves as U.S. publications. Rather, they view themselves as global operations with loyalties to "the world," not to the United States. In their eyes, nationalism should not exist. If there are no feelings of nationalism, then there is also no need for patriotism. To be patriotic is to be nationalistic. To be nationalistic is a form of global treason, so you and I are the ones guilty of treason, not them. This is their mindset and it presents a real danger to all of us.

Ping. Priest was Pincus' cowriter in much Wilson-related reporting and also did that feature on Wilson with Richard Leiby that was released concurrently with Wilson's NYT op-ed. It may be interesting to see if any of Priest's sources here were quoted previously.
