Eyes On The (Pulitzer)Prize (even if the MSM has to commit treason to get it)

Once again, major newspapers, led by The New York Times, have spilled secrets that will make Americans less safe and the war on terror harder to win. No doubt, Pulitzers are in order. We hope they're proud.

The decision by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal to print details of the government's secret program to monitor terrorists' finances couldn't come at a worse time.

It is a key part of our effort to dismantle the global terrorist threat and to render al-Qaida and its allies financially impotent. It worked — so well, in fact, that both Republicans and Democrats asked newspapers not to print the story.

Just how good was it?

"The program," the L.A. Times said, "is considered a potent weapon in the war on terrorism because of its ability to clandestinely monitor financial transactions and map terrorist webs."

No doubt true. So why publish anything at all if it will ruin a legal program that works at rooting out terrorists?

NEW YORK TIMES treason bump.

Agree with you 100%. It is time to rise and speak up against these traitors. Don't let them swept it under the rug like they always do when the furor dies down.

If nothing is done they will do it again.

[Renkluaf]

In reality they don't really care. We are the enemy in their eyes. They, however, are citizens of the world and, as such, charged with its protection.

With all the treasonous lying bastards that have "won" pulitzers and nobels, who gives a shiite who won this year last year or next year. They have become the Oscars of anti Americanism.

There seems to be a problem in the MSM and the state dept. holding onto secrets.

Perhaps it is time to plant some stories and see where the nuts fall. The NYT should get a bogus story or two and we should see some treason firings and convictions. Perhaps of the leakers and "reporters" found that the administration is serious about prosecuting traitors, it would come to a screeching halt.

How about some guts and imagination form the Bush admin?
