So a few reporters and editors are in jail. How will that make the terrorists forget the information they already received from the Times?

Serves as both payback and a warning to other reporters.

But the first bomb to go off is going to be in New York. The Times' staff and management will be among the first to get hit. What they're doing is suicidal.

See, there is a silver lining in every cloud. :>)

And NO, I don't really believe that - and wouldn't even if I didn't have family in NYC.

The only question is ...who has the balls to go after the Times? Are we going to just let this story fade away ? It's up to us to REALLY push this one. They CANNOT get away with blatant treason. The MSM has glossed over it here in NY , thats for sure. No big deal around here. What can we do ? Suggestions? How can we force our lame , on vacation soon , politicians to hound the Times and hold them responsible ?

Is this the same Michael Graham that was a radio talk show host on WMAL630AM in Washington DC?

The one who got canned for his on-air comments about Islam being the enemy?

"...the reporter and his editors can be sent to jail to rot. Since national security is involved, reduce family visitation to near nothing. That'll fix their traitorous butts."

Nonsense, IMO.

There are too many ignorant American voters who would buy into the 24/7 visual headlines comparing this administration to 1930's Germany.

Just stop buying the dad-gummed paper and/or supporting its advertisers.

Putting reporters and editors into jail for failing to identify people guilty of leaking national security secrets (secrets which protect the average person from the Bin Ladens of the world) would be supported. Further, it will serve as a deterrent to many other reporters doing the same. Oh, and when some reporters spill their guts (and some will), then the leakers will be identified and prosecuted...which will deter other potential leakers, which is the object of the whole exercise.

Just stop buying the dad-gummed paper and/or supporting its advertisers.

I did the first more than 10 years ago. Identifying all of the advertisers is a bit more difficult, especially since I won't buy the paper. Nonetheless, it is the best policy in the long term for all of us to follow. Hit 'em where it hurts the most - in their traitorous pockets.

OK, so you've got the proper header - now what's the headline?

Oh, and maybe you want to date it on 9/12.

My question is "What has changed?" The same people who wanted to kill us five years ago are plotting the next attack right now. The New York Times just made their job easier. Again.

Well let me take a stab at it. What has changed? Simple. The cowards are coming out of the woodwork. On September 11th, 2001 they hid behind the skirts of their mommies and wives, chanting such slogans as "United We Stand" etc. and acting with faux patriotism. The sixties hippie trash in this country are prone to do that when threatened. Unfortunately most now have worked their way into positions of power, such as educators and representatives of the media.

Now, we flash to June 30th, 2006. Almost five years have passed. Not another attack has occurred. We are (relatively) safe on our home soil. So the cowards feel it's safe to come out from hiding and start shooting their mouths off again. While better men and women who understand the situation and work to keep what we have both at home and abroad, they revert to their sixties mindset of "we're gonna save the world (according to us)".

While I always hesitate to use the phrase in a free country, these people are nothing but traitors. God help us.

This is a really good piece, but I think it misses a very important point.

The New York Times never would have been able to print this story in the first place if either a seditious government employee or politician hadn't violated his oath to America and broken the law by leaking the information to begin with.

The necessary first step to fixing our problems is to identify who the betrayers are within our government, and sending them to Ft. Leavenworth for life.

The REAL question is: HOW DID THE NY TIMES FIND OUT ABOUT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE???

Those are my concerns as well. The NYT is just the irresponsible messanger. The leakers are the root cause of what now is a less secure homeland.

And still, the Times insists "Al Qaeda must know."

Revolution, anyone?
