Somebody needs to just put the Old Gray Whore out of her misery.

"...Old Gray Whore..."

LOL!

[Flightdeck]

I'm not sure what I gained from learning about this program. But according to the Slimes, it outweighed what the terrorists would gain from learning about the program.

[NativeNewYorker]

They never carried the story about Soros' French insider trader conviction being upheld....

[Minus_The_Bear]

It's on the front page of Digg right now... they reach just as many people.

[Sunshine Sister]

Served the public interest by reporting on tactics used in the war on terrorism? Oh I don't think so. I hope they have to go to court immediately! It's high damned time.

[KarlInOhio]

How would the NYT react to someone releasing the blue prints of their building and a complete description of their security procedures and how to defeat any security systems. After all, there is a first amendment right to publish it to the world.

[coconutt2000]

The NYT editor screwed up. This story should've headlined the first page.

Would've done wonders for their circulation.

[Edgerunner]

Since McKinney isn't going to be punished...and the old Grey ho has done this before and gotten away with it, I suspect that nothing will be done. This is only a country governed by law if you don't have any political clout. Otherwise, we are governed by men.

BTTT

The New York Times = al Qaeda's Intelligence Department

[Jameison]

"In a letter to readers posted Sunday on the Times’ Web site, executive editor Bill Keller said that the newspaper and others in the press "have served the public interest” by reporting on secret programs designed to fight terrorism."

"Public interest"? Gee, when did Al Quaeda become the American public?

[308MBR]

I don't care where they put it in their paper. The President is mad, and something just may happen here about this issue. I hope so.

[Neoliberalnot]

The sniveling traitors deserve serious prosecution. Let's see if they can make this happen. This issue is going to gain steam as the New Media forces the old media to cover it. Keep pushing folks--these bastards deserve jail time.

[doug from upland]

You have inspired a song. It will be up soon.

"The President is mad, and something just may happen here about this issue. I hope so."

The President is mad, true. However, Frist was just on Fox News with Bill Hemmer, and stated he doesn't believe a congressional investigation is warranted. Hemmer really pushed him on this but Frist stuck to his guns. Whoever determined this guy would make an effective Senate Majority Leader was very mistaken.

[B4Ranch]

"Digg is experiencing a high volume of traffic right now. Try your Search later."

Looks like Digg can't handle stress.

[Minus_The_Bear]

I entered the URI incorrectly... Digg is one of the most widely read sites on the internet. About twice as prominent as Slashdot. Digg

[phillyfanatic]

There will be the usual blather about the right of the public et al, et al. The MSM will protect iteself with cries and whines against that Facist Bush. Oh the humanity. AG Meese on Rush today thought it would be a case to see just how much the First and Second Amend. applies to a dangerous outlet with govt. secrets. I would love to see Frist and Hastart at least issue a resolution in Congress to chastise the Times on both coasts.

That is the best idea for a pajamahudeen op I have heard yet. Anyone know how to get this done?
