Here is where to voice your concerns about the NYT and leakers behind the 'veil'..

There are no words to describe my rage at the NYTimes and the LATimes and the person or persons who feel free to blab secret intel. info. I want the guilty ones tarred and feathered, then put in stocks in a very public place where we can have a go at them! Just WHO do these scum-sucking low-lifes think they ARE???? THEY'RE WORKING FOR THE EFFING ENEMY!
How long do we have to wait for something to be done. How much damage is too much? Americans hurting America. Hmmmmmmmm, don't we have a word for that?
In WWII they would be asked 2 questions: Blindfold? Cigarette?
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
You really should direct your anger at the leaker!! The taxpapers are paying someone to sell us out.
The New York Times is expected to print just about everything they're given. That they don't print some things and print others based on ideological concerns is their concern.
The traitors and truly treacherous are those who have sworn an oath or signed a contract with the government and violated that and given over information to the NYT's for dissemination.
Freedom of the Press is important. It is important that the press be able to print any information that they confirm to be true, even if it is harmful to the country. Economics will take care of the wayward press eventually, as patriotic citizens boycott their products. Anti-American editors are eventually going to become anathema to stockholders who want their investments to show a profit.
But protections for leakers of national security information should not be protected under the first amendment. If a leaker feels that the information is important to get out to the public, and the leaker is right - the public will choose to protect the leaker from the consequences. But ideologically driven leaks, for crass political purposes, that endanger the national security are expressly unpopular - and the leakers must be brought to justice.
If you'll look at my post again, you'll see that the leaker is mentioned here.
I wonder if some of today's journalist would have told the Nazis' or Nips about our ability to read their encoded radio traffic?
Sorry!!!!!

"You will wait until I'm President again
because I have EVERYONEs FBI files, and WE have the power and the control and the Press."
If he or she has to ask that question now, he or she hasn't been paying a heck of a lot of attention to what the left has been up to for the last several years.
