Al Jazeera on The Hudson gets sent up!

[Ron in Acreage]

We can hope.

[SlowBoat407]

Brilliant!

[PeterPrinciple]

Where is the "nailed it" guy?

[A. Pole]

Bump

[Gefreiter]

Nice. Could also include the duplicity of higher education in contributing to those efforts- colleges and universities offered their best and brightest students, faculty, and resources to the war.

These days such actions are, at best, in shockingly poor taste.

Well it really isn't FAIR to eavesdrop.

Also we are "scrambling" our messages by having native Americans communicate by radio. < /sarc >

[freedumb2003]

It is satire but it points out the truth.

NYT=New York Treason

Interesting that an effort of distributed computing ongoing at present is to break the last unknown Enigma message. The other two unknown messages were already cracked this year.

BBC: Enigma project cracks second code

[Lee'sGhost]

MSM/libs/dims response:

So what? I mean, surely the Krauts and the Japs KNEW we working on their codes. It's not like the Times actually reported anything they didn't know already. How can people claim that this story harms the war effort.

[Wombat101]

Art imitating life: This did actually happen!

In the summer of 1942, the Chicago Tribune (believe it was the Trib), in reporting the victory of Midway actually printed a blurb about the United States having broken Japanese radio codes, and credited this event as the reason for American success.

As far as I know, nothing was done to the Trib or it's people by the FDR administration.

Still doesn't excuse the Times, though.

[Petronski]

I agree with the others above:

Brilliant!

[MaryFromMichigan]

Very good article.
Best post of the day.

"...to maintain the rights of people who might have been innocently short-waving private messages to friends and relatives inside Germany and Japan as well as occupied countries."

LOL

[Pilgrim4JC]

Smack Down!

Someone email this to the times!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

On a related note, looks like FReeper Doug has been acitve: on Ebay.

At times, I sincerly love this place.

Anyone who gives any money to the NYT is helping those who want to blow up more buildings.

What's so amazing is how truly stupid the NY Times editors are. They published this story, and the others with the express intent of hurting President Bush. Those of us killed in terrorist attacks are just "collateral damage". What they can't fathom is that Americans, even some who live in NYC, want the government to listen to the enemy's phone calls, to track their movements and to monitor their financial dealings. These disclosures have helped the President's popularity. That the NY Times continues with a failed tactic shows their hatred has made them irrational.

With each disclosure, Americans are learning the President kept his word when he said he'd do everything possible to stop another 9/11. They also recognize the blatant hypocrisy in the NY Times' positions. We had to disclose the NSA program because it might be illegal. We had to disclose the SWIFT monitoring even though everyone agrees it was legal. It's a page one scoop. The terrorists knew all about it anyway.

Riddle me this NY Times: If the terrorists knew about this already, why were we still catching them through this program? Even the 7/7/05 bombings were traced with this. So less than a year ago terrorists were still unaware.

Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

(May 28, 1944) The NYT announced today that Allied forces are planning a massive assault along the Normandy coast in a massive push onto the European continent. This ill-advised and aggressive attack will likely cause the death of hundreds of US soldiers and innocent civilians.

(August 4, 1945) The US intends to use an entire new kind of bomb against two cities in Japan. It will be carried by B-29 bombers that unless they are shot down are believed to be capable of each destroying an entire city. If, however, the planes are shot down and one of the bombs recovered, it is thought that the US has no more of these weapons.
