WHAT: Groups to Protest Treasonous Reporting by New York Times at Washington, D.C. Bureau on Monday
WHEN: Monday, July 3 at 12 p.m.
WHERE: 1627 I Street NW, Washington, D.C.
The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com, an independent grassroots conservative organization, and Accuracy in Media (AIM) will hold a demonstration at noon, Monday, July 3, at the Washington, D.C., bureau of The New York Times, 1627 I St., NW, to call for the prosecution of New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Executive Editor Bill Keller and reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau for giving aid and comfort to al Qaeda by publishing stories exposing national security intelligence programs.
Despite pleadings from the federal government and Democrat and Republican members of the 9/11 Commission, The Times recently published a report detailing lawful surveillance of international banking transactions that was employed to prevent terror attacks.
This report followed The Times' publication last year exposing the federal government’s NSA surveillance of international based phone and electronic communications aimed at preventing terror attacks. Incredibly, The Times was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for that story.
When confronted at the April 2006 annual Times meeting by AIM editor Cliff Kincaid about the NSA story, Sulzberger said that he and his editors "made the decision that, in the battles between civil liberties on the one hand and national security on the other, civil liberties won."
To which Kincaid responded, "Whose civil liberties are you talking about? Certainly not the civil liberties of those Americans who are possible victims of a terrorist attack carried out by the terrorists who are under surveillance. So whose civil liberties are you protecting in this case by going public and alerting our enemies as to what we're doing?"
Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com said of The Times, "As a military family member, I find it appalling that The New York Times would place the lives of soldiers in the field and civilians at home in danger by giving our national security secrets to al Qaeda. Suzlberger, Keller, Risen and Lichtblau are nothing more than ink stained enemy combatants who should be prosecuted for treason."

Thanks! Yes, we put in for a permit for this one. The moonbats may show up on Monday, but I'm not that worried about it. However, years ago when Angelwood and Marylander were protesting the NY Times, they were egged by NY Times workers who threw eggs at them from the windows of their offices seven floors above them.
If they do that again, bring suit against them for assault. You don't have to know who threw the egg. Sue everyone on the floor from which the eggs were thrown.
Wish I could be there Kristinn. Give 'em hell.
((Can't wait for the After-Freep Report!!!))
You KNOW I'm there!
Thanks and welcome to FR!
Ping!
I don't know how long it took before it was cleaned up, but it's nice to think the egg-throwers had to look at the results of their little tantrum every day for while.
I will try to return to the scene of the crime to join you on Monday.
And hung.
Go Kristinn!! Problem is, they will all be at Fire Island on that day.
Sure hope this is a huge success. I would truly love to be there. Onward!!

Thre's a FREEPER protest against the NYT set for their HDQ's in NYC on Monday, July 10 from 5 to 7:30. There's a link above. I'm down in South Jersey, near Philly but I'm checking out the bus schedules to try to get there. Check it out--why should the DC folks have all the fun?
