If you bring the NYTimes up on charges, guess what? You have to have EVIDENCE, and that means TESTIMONY in PUBLIC that will reveal even more about these programs.
Even FDR did not prosecute the Chicago Tribune in 1942 after it revealed the MAGIC program, largely because to do so would have made public still MORE secrets.
With the Chicago Tribune, the reference to having broken the MAGIC code was part of one sentence.
Justice has all the evidence it needs that the NYT deliberately, knowingly and ILLEGALLY published classified information - all they have to do is bring a copy of the paper to court as Exhibit A.
Yes, Pat really IS this stupid; not to mention hateful and spiteful and nauseating!
He knows you're stupid. You seem to be throwing up your hands in surrender to the Times without a fight long long overdue.
And in my opinion he's right.
You obtain evidence. You put the editor of the NYT under oath and ask him who was their source. If he involks the 1st amendment, you immunize him. Now ask. If he still refuses, put the son-of-a-bitch in jail until he is no longer in comtempt of court. That means he gives up the leaker. Now you have evidence. These New YOrk Times bastards need to be shown the heat, and they will see the light. No freeper would be treated any different. We just don't have a large newspaper to intimidate the adminsitration with. Buchanan is spot on on this matter.
