Investigation, then incarceration and it doesn't necessarily have to be in that order. :D

I guess everyone has seen that their profits are down something like 46% this quarter. It would be nice symmetry if we could send 46% of their editors to prison. Planetary alignments, that sort of thing.

How the public views these things has a lot to do with whether or not wrongdoing is exposed - unless it turns out that the president broke the law I suspect the Times will get slapped down. They may have misjudged thinking it was ilegal to tap incoming calls from known terrorists.

So far no one credible has said the President authorized tapping citizens on an ongoing basis without a court order. if the Times thinks that is what happens I have not seen them publish it.

I thought it was odd that the AG referred to the articles as all wrong. Did the next J Blair report war stories? It's past time to do something.

I had just been given advice by a famous constitutional law professor on how to commit treason and get away with it. One wonders if the Times relied on similar advice regarding its publication of the NSA surveillance story.

Hmm. Maybe the Times could be tried in front of their favorite court - FISA. The Times does respect secure intelligence, right?

Maybe with an investigation, we'll find out who leaked the wiretapping to the Times.

My money's on Leaky Leahy.

These guys blew the operation, intentionally. They need to do serious time. Reporters, officers, agents, alike. Revealing this kind of ongoing operation, during wartime, is worthy of a death sentence.

If this isn't treason, then take the laws off the books, as the word has no meaning. If blowing NSA surveillance of Al Qaeda communications isn't a capital offense, then we may as well all go home and put our feet up, while the band plays "Nearer My God to Thee".

Exposure (Did the New York Times break the law with its wire-tapping story?)

Of course it did.

Today the President speaks to the NSA and I have just learned that this speech is in preparation for a possible arrest of the leaked source(s)(Slimes gave the feds the name(s)). The President is going to try to boost moral and assure the good NSA workers that these traitors are not their friends even if they may have been liked.

The media could break the law in the past and not worry about prosecution. No politican wanted to be the one under media attack for a prosecution. However, now that the old media is a branch of the Democrat Party, what do Republicans have to lose in tossing them in jail for breaking the law? The old media will spit hatred at Republicans? They do that no matter what Republicans do.

The Old Media is completely cooking it's own goose.
