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."

I think the New York Times is indulging themselves by hiding behind the 'public right to know excuse.' It's they who want to know all secrets to blab to their friend Osama. Most of the time the public could really care less--they know that!
As for me, I'm outraged they have breached our national security. The Bush Administration has to start a misinformation campaign so they can find out who is leaking what to whom and when.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/INTELLIGENCE_LEAKS?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US I hope its ok to post the link. I tried to post an excerpt but it wouldnt let me. These groups say its all freedom of the press but its all a ruse to make President Bush fail in my opinion. They hate GWB and they clearly hate America.
Excerpt:
In the "Escapes" section of the June 30 edition, the N.Y. Times printed huge color photos of the vacation residences of Cheney and Rumsfeld, "identifying the small Maryland town where they live, showing their front driveways and, in Rumsfeld's case, actually pointing out the hidden security camera in case any hostile intruders should get careless," Horowitz writes.

For all NYC protesters contact firebrand for specifics.
I guess the NYT workers don't know how awful this makes the United States look in the eyes of the rest of the world. People are struggling to get enough rice or grain to keep them alive, and Americans throw precious eggs. Please, Lord, give them a few extra IQ points.
