The RATs owe the bulk of the success of their treasonous, anti-American, political operation, to the NYTimes.

It is an article of faith on the Left and among its fellow travelers that the Bush administration stole two elections, made war on Iraq for venal reasons, tortured hapless foreigners, and conducted illegal surveillance of innocent Americans. A corollary of this mindset is that the press, primarily the Washington Post and The New York Times, has a right, indeed a duty, to print whatever they want about the administration—even if the information compromises national security. Not true. The press is not exempt from laws that apply to everyone else. The press is not exempt from laws protecting our national security. The New York Times is not exempt from the Espionage Act, as we shall see in a moment. First, an Espionage Act indictment of The New York Times would not even remotely constitute an attack on a free press. As Justice White wrote in Branzburg v. Hayes, “[i]t would be frivolous to assert . . . that the First Amendment, in the interest of securing news or otherwise, confers a license on either the reporter or his news sources to violate valid criminal laws.”
He also co-authored "Aid and Comfort”: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam."
I fear that much as Holtzer accounts for the reason Fonda was never prosecuted (though there appears to have been ample probable cause) at the time was the Nixon Administration's reluctance to charge a highly popular movie star, I believe the Bush Administration (as evidenced from the past 6 years) will not want to touch this with a ten foot pole.
It is a sad commentary that when some flunky, Jane-Bond-Wanna-Be, get's "outed" (yes, La Plame Affair) there is no reluctance to bring the full weight and might of our Justice System to find and punish the evil doers--even if it takes years, costs millions of dollars and harms countless of innocents.
However, when there is prima facie evidence that Espionage/Treason "HAS" occurred (not once but at least FOUR times in the past year) with the leaking of the NSA Wiretapping Program; the CIA's holding prisoners in foreign countries; the gathering of financial information about terrorists transfer of funds from institutions worldwide; and now the latest leaks of the NIE, WHY, in God's (or the Devil's for you non-believers)name is no one in the Justice Department even "whispering" criticism--much less threatening (and in fact calling for) an investigation.?
I can understand W's reluctance to even suggest such as course of action, however, where is the Attorney General, Gonzales?
He and Mueller are probably preoccupied with coordinating with CAIR regarding the next scheduled Muslim "sensitivity training" seminar for their FBI Agents.
Moreover, where are all our Congress-critters?
Especially, those paragons of virtue and righteousness, such as Chaffee and "Spectre?"
Maybe they (and their Dimocratic brethren) are too busy drafting amendments to bill which would give our enemies Habeas Corpus to be bothered with such trivial matters such as this?
Or is it they are all hiding under their desks for fear of the crap-storm which would surely ensue should ANY dare to take on the darling of the left's Primary source of garbage and propaganda?
Of course its a given the the RATS won't call for hearings, but is there not ONE Republican who has the stones to insist that Congress investigates this serious matter?
The RATs owe the bulk of the success of their treasonous, anti-American, political operation, to the NYTimes.
They AND the terrorists.
Why should they bother gathering any intelligence info about us, all they have to do is subscribe to the NY Slime or WaPo
Aid and Abetting, that's the screed of the Dims and (sadly) some RINO's as well as Bush-haters within the administration--especially, the CIA and State.
They should be rooted, booted, prosecuted, and incarcerated for a very long time.
Still it would appear those militias would target the mainstream mess and not the Clintons for their reign of terror?
Thanks. Yes, I'm definitely interested and add me to your list.
What I really wish someone would produce is a bumper sticker (and/or a T-Shirt) with the following: "I'm and Infidel and Proud Of it!!"
Hadn't thought of that. Thanks.
Might just do that and wear it to the next CAIR rally, seeing as I live in Virginia and there is a hotbed of Moozie activist in and around DC.
Of course, would want a few of my "Seasonded-Citizen Nam Vet Brothers" with me to watch my back. lol
One for me, please.
