Big deal. If it's okay with the Bush Justice Department, who are we to complain?

Quote:
the Times's new publisher, Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger Jr ... was a sixties anti-war activist who famously declared that in a confrontation between an American and a North Vietnamese soldier he'd want to see the American get shot."

Maybe a Freeper with a better memory than me can help. I recollect that right after 9/11, there was editorials regarding the failure of our country to "follow the money" in regards to terrorists.

[Bigun]

BY NOW IT'S UNDENIABLE: The New York Times is a national security threat.

That bears repeating so I did!

The New York Times IS undeniably a national security threat and every patriot should henceforth REFUSE to purchase the rag!

If it's okay with the Bush Justice Department, who are we to complain?

I have been an accountant for 30 years. It has never been my experience that unnussual banking transactions could not be investigated by federal authorities, in fact before 9/11 there were laws requiring certain transactions to be reported (ie over 10k in cash).

Do you disagree that we should be doing every legal thing we can do to protect ourselves from terrorists?

[Bigun]

BTW: The is a VERY good article - one of the best I've seen from the Weekly Standard of late.

Good post!

[SE Mom]

Excellent piece- thanks for posting.

Seditious bastards.

[Rome2000]

The administration strongly urged the New York Times not to expose this classified program,

They are going to have to do a little more than "strongly urge" the socialist crook sex perverts at the NYT to stop undermining national security.

Lincoln and FDR threw jornalists in jail, apparently Bush doesn't know he can do that.

[hershey]

Liberals would rather see millions of Americans dead than be out of power. There is literally nothing they won't stoop to. They're evil.

[Jeff Chandler]

Do you disagree that we should be doing every legal thing we can do to protect ourselves from terrorists?

I agree. The Bush Justice Department disagrees.

[dennisw]

If what the New York Times did was so harmful then prosecute them. Aren't there enough laws on the books to find some that apply or is the Bush administration afraid of fighting the ultra liberals.

[outofsalt]

WE NEED TO FREEP THEIR ADVERTISERS. Does anyone know who some of their bigger accounts are? One or two names of regular large add purchasers to whom we can direct our ire. Writing to their editors is a waste.

[patj]

The New York Times is guilty of an abuse of power.

[YOUGOTIT]

The Nazi SOBs at the New York Times haven for terrorist should be in jail for treason. But they areleft-wing Nazi Democrats so no one will lift a hand to stop the treason as they worship their gods Hitler and Stalin.

[maxter]

Who is leaking all this classified information and why aren't we vigorously going after them?

[maxter]

Agreed. Target the advertisers.

[dennisw]

Big deal. If it's okay with the Bush Justice Department, who are we to complain?

The Bush administration doesn't enforce the laws on illegal immigration
Now we're going to learn that it's too chickensh!t to enforce national security laws against the New York Times

But Alberto Gonzalez's Justice Department will throw the book at total idiots like this Miami Jihadist

[MaDeuce]

"The New York Times IS undeniably a national security threat and every patriot should henceforth REFUSE to purchase the rag!"

If they are a security threat (as we all know), why doesn't Bush direct the FBI to arrest the owner and editor and shut them down for the duration of the war. Do what Lincoln did to various newspaper publishers in the 1860's. I am sure that is well within the Executive's powers in time of war.

[EBH]

Agreed, uh no wait that should read, AGREED!

So the press printed it. They would not have printed it if not for the LEAKERS! I can't believe after so many leaks that Congress or the American People are still choosing to not arrest the LEAKERS!

Are they so dang afraid of the Left, the Media, and the Press as to not prosecute those who have endangered National Security? Whistle-blowers my a**. It needs to stop, they need to spend a few months down a Gitmo.
