The disruption of an alleged terrorist plot to blow up airliners shows the importance of intelligence gathering and the need to pursue the "traitors" who recently leaked information about classified government programs, Sen. Rick Santorum said Friday.
Those classified programs "were important for us to be able to confront an enemy in time of war," Santorum said. "When people leak that kind of information, to me, that is traitorous activity."
Santorum, the No. 3 Senate Republican, acknowledged that he did not know whether classified programs recently brought to light by leaks, such as a National Security Agency warrantless wiretapping program, were involved in heading off the alleged terrorist plan to smuggle explosive components onto passenger jets.
The Bush administration has harshly criticized reports that revealed the existence of the warrantless wiretap program as well as another secret government initiative that accesses a huge databank of bank records.

I will probably do that. They are so inexpensive nowadays.
Got that right.
I'd like to see a declaration of war. These informal resolutions are a joke, and the mooselimbs are taking full advantage.
The real question is, will the NYT enlist the services of the ACLU and sue the government over this? /s
Rope + Tall Tree + Traitor = Git 'r done!
It is my opinion that the editors,publishers, and owners of the NYSlimes should be incarcerated incommunicado for the duration of the war on terror. The reporters that wrote the stories of classified activities be tried for treason. The leakers should be imprisoned in the brigs of major warships with transfers at sea so they never again get a glimpse of America or it's shores.
Repeat the process with each "news" organization that compromises national security. If the war on terror lasts 100 years those editors,publishers and owners would never get out, unless we lose the war on terror. If that's the case, the muslim terrorists would kill they anyway.
WooHoo!
The ice has been broken.
Finally someone other than a Freeper or member of alternative media says it.
Thank you Senator Santorum. 100% agreement.
