My vote would be for taking the New York Times and those reporters to court - treason is the reason.

Get the rope I'll tie the knot Jim can knock the stool out from under their feet if he wants to. :D

But we have learned the hard way that Bush's team cannot be trusted to find the boundaries of the law, much less respect them.

Then why have NONE of the kerffle's they have perpetrated been true? NYT is useless...

I have read and heard several accounts of the law and it does seam that the Slimes, their reporters and management are in breach of the law. I can just hope that the Bush justice department grows a set of gonads and prosecutes these traitors. The MSM's constant undermining anything the US does or stands for just makes me sick. They need a serious A$$ kicking. Amen.

This is an excellent analysis by Power Line and Scott Johnson. As a lawyer who has been around the block (many times), I agree with his analysis here of the underlying law. He also draws a very important distinction that appears in the Pentagon Papers case.

Though the law does NOT permit the federal government from barring the publication of this information, which would be prior restraint, it specifically does allow the prosecution of the newspaper after publication. By analogy, the law does not bar any individual from going into a bank. It does, however, provide for his prosecution if he robs the bank while he is there. The NY Times has just robbed the bank of American national security, "big time," to borrow a phrase from the Vice President.

Everyone involved should be identified, charged, and jailed if found guilty. And any reporters or editors who claim the right to "protect their sources" and refuse to testify, should be jailed for contempt until the War on Terror is over, however long that takes.

Is the New York Times a law unto itself?

No doubt about it. A "law" of subversion and hate.

[Logical me]

All well said, my only problem is why does the JD seem to be foot dragging. Subpoenas should have been issued within a couple days of the Times publishing the info. Once the trail gets cold it becomes tainted and will be harder to get basic information. Followup can bring great rewards. Just ask Fitzzzzzzzzz how to do it.

Whoops! Sorry about bringing Fitz into this but look how he got Libby.
