Thanks for the ping - here's my bump statement of the day:

The New York Times has the right to publish anything they want, but not the right to publish anything they want without consequence.

If there were no consequences to publishing, the New York Times could steal columns from other newspapers and publish them. The law can't stop them from publishing. But it can stop them from publishing without consequences. In this case they could be sued successfully and be forced to pay retribution. In other words, they have the right to publish other newspapers material, but not the right to do it free from the law.

It's the same with giving secrets to the enemy. They can publish the secrets. We can arrest them for treason.

Well, since you're early, and there is no big news being discussed here...here is a discussion of what I saw in the grocery check-out line over the weekend. lol. "They" have tried every other comparison to Clinton's scandals. I've been waiting for this one. lol.

Thank you once again for the ping.

[BallyBill]

Every talk show host must be on vacation. Man will I feel stupid not knowing what to think or say when confronted by the vastly superior brain force of the Left. (snicker)

[auto power]

Rush out today.....bummer.....

[BallyBill]

Great. I knew that "booze" would somehow be in that story. I didn't check, did they somehow connect Laura's cigarette addiction to Global Warming?

[JerseyDvl]

You are correct BB, none have been around. Laura, Rush, Sean, Levin, have all been out.
Is there a conservative conference somewhere?

[ChicagoConservative27]

Thanks for the ping Johnnie.

Dear Reader:

1) We have no reason to believe the program was illegal in any way.

2) We have every reason to believe it was effective at catching terrorists.

3) We ran the story anyway, screw you.

Mr. Keller,
What ceases to amaze me about your paper is the
lengths you are willing to go to make headlines and
sell papers. Who cares if those headlines help the
enemies of America, you guys are making money and that
is what it is all about in the end right?

Your recent decision to publish information about a
classified program intended to track the banking
transactions of possible terrorists is not only
detrimental to America but also to its fighting men
and women overseas. I know because I am a sergeant in
the army on my second tour to Iraq. As I am sure you
don’t know because you aren’t in Iraq, and I am sure
never will be, terrorism happens here everyday because
there are rich men out there willing to support the
everyday terrorist who plants bombs and shoots
soldiers just to make a living. Without money
terrorism in Iraq would die because there would no
longer be supplies for IED’s, no mortars or RPG’s, and
no motivation for people to abandon regular work in
hopes of striking it rich after killing a soldier.

Throughout your article you mention that “ the banking
program is a closely held secret” but the cat is out
of the bag now isn’t it. Terrorists the world over can
now change their practices because of your article.
For some reason I think that last sentence will bring
you guys pleasure. You have done something great in
your own eyes-you think you have hurt the current
administration while at the same time encouraging
“freedom fighters” resisting the imperialism of the
United States. However, I foresee a backlash coming
your way. I wish I had a subscription to your paper so
I could cancel it as soon as possible. But alas, that
would prove a little tough right now since I am in
Iraq dealing with terrorists financed by the very men
you are helping.

Thank you for continually contributing to the deaths
of my fellow soldiers. You guys definitely provide a
valuable service with your paper. Why without you how
would terrorists stay one step ahead of us? I would
love to hear a response as to why you deemed revealing
this program a necessity, but that will probably come
as soon as the government decides to finally put you
guys behind bars where you belong.
