Amen. It's been quite a while since I paid for it. As a general rule, I post from it only when I can't find stories with equally good content on the topic somewhere else, e.g. pics, graphics, links, etc.
Even the mainstream media admits they don't look to the Times for news anymore. The check the Times for the day's liberal talking points.
And Philip Shenon is a psychic who just intuited all of this information. My goodness, there is a nest of vipers, and they are in the government. The DBM just help them on their way.

The Times people need some good hard jail time.
WoW!! That's a pretty "in your face" article.
I hope the rumor that the DOJ is investigating is true. It's time to shut the door on the Clinton cabal's ability to damage the President and harm America.
I have come to the conclusion that the left WANTS another attack on America. They mindlessly believe the public will blame Bush .. we won't! We'll blame all the lefties who will not even believe there is such a thing as evil.
Gee, I'm sure anything that' SECRET will arouse the public's interest. That's a bogus threshold. What about the public good?
“The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission,” then-CIA director Porter Goss told the Senate Intelligence Committee on February 2, referring to the Times’s December 16 TSP story. “I use the words ‘very severe’ intentionally. And I think the evidence will show that.” The Times’s revelations, Goss testified, left intelligence sources “no longer viable or usable, or less effective by a large degree.”
I wonder who gave the information to the Times?
I doubt that anyone at the newspaper has a classified clearance - and whoever would give the information to the newspaper, IMO would give it directly to the terrorists as well.
They need to worry less about the newspaper and more about the newspaper's source, I think.
Both. They should identify and jail the leakers in the administration, certainly. But they should also jail the publisher, editor, and reporters responsible for publishing these stories and endangering our nation's security and the safety of their fellow citizens.
The fact that Bush has sat back and done NOTHING through this whole string of treasonous acts is disgraceful.
Paul O'Neill works into this somehow.

There is a dynamic to the Clinton/Rich/O'Neill battles that I have never quite been able to figure out. Apparently Rich had Alcoa over a barrel and Clinton brokered a truce. According to this article Rich was afraid an O'Neill lead Treasury Department would come after him again. Never happened. Google Clinton and O'Neill and see just how much time they spend together on the rubber chicken circuit. Strange, just strange.
Follow the money. The NYSlimes will only change it's behavior when their pocketbook is impacted. Getting advertisers to stop is the key.
Good tight rope is more like it.
Pardon my ignorance, what's DBM?
"To imagine what Islamic extremists could do with this particular Times dispatch, look no further than militant Muslim Mir Aimal Kasi’s January 1993 fatal shooting of two intelligence officers at the driveway of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia."
After Desert Storm, I remember reading that a bomb had been found under a station wagon parked in a super market parking lot.
Owner... Mrs. Norman Schwarzkopf.

NY Times Defends Itself
Aggrieved that its publication of the government's secret efforts to monitor terrorist finances has been criticized as "giving aid and comfort to the enemy," Bill Keller, executive editor of the New York Times has come out swinging.
"It's not fair that the Times should be singled out for giving aid and comfort to the enemy," said Keller. "Everybody's doing it." Keller pointed out that since his paper broke the story hundreds of other media outlets have repeated it in various forms. "Are they going to arrest every editor in America?"
"And it's not only the media that could be accused of aiding the enemy," said Keller. "Senator Kerry (D-Mass) said our troops are terrorizing Iraqi women and children. Rep. Murtha (D-Penn) said our troops are cold-blooded killers of women and children. Surely such inflammatory statements do more to undermine U.S. efforts than our relatively dull story of financial accounting surveillance."
Keller's argument received backhanded support from filmmaker Michael Moore. "All of these other piddling little efforts to undermine the so-called war on terror pale in comparison to my efforts," said Moore. "Fahrenheit 911 made more accusations and reached a far broader audience than anything said or done by anyone else. If the Bush regime is to put anyone on trial for giving aid and comfort to its enemies it ought to be me."
Moore says film crews are standing by in case he is put on trial. "It would be a blockbuster," boasted Moore. "I'll make more money on it than all of my other films put together."
Moore says he is confident that he would be acquitted in any trial. "I have so many fans that any jury pool is bound to be stacked in my favor," said Moore. "There's no way I'd be convicted."
Kerry took issue with both Keller and Moore. "While I kind of agree with both of them, I also disagree," said Kerry. "Everyone of us is kind of giving aid to the enemies President Bush has invented. But since the enemies are imagined there can be no offense under the law. Besides, what I have said is of far more importance than what the Times has written or Mr. Moore has filmed. I am the leader of the insurgency against the Bush Administration. I almost toppled it in 2004. I am building support for another try in 2008."
A poll of NY Times subscribers showed a majority were concerned for the paper's future. Respondent Lance Portnoy's take on it was fairly representative. "If the Times were to be closed I'd be hard pressed to find an adequate replacement," said Portnoy. "No other paper offers as much bulk per dollar. It has really helped save my carpet from my dog's intestinal problems."
