Americans have watched in horror as President Bush has trampled on the Bill of Rights and the balance of power. The list of abuses that President-elect Barack Obama must address is long: once again require the government to get warrants to eavesdrop on Americans; undo scores of executive orders and bill-signing statements that have undermined the powers of Congress; strip out the unnecessary invasions of privacy embedded in the Patriot Act; block new F.B.I. investigative guidelines straight out of J. Edgar Hoover’s playbook.
Those are not the only disasters Mr. Obama will inherit. He will have to rescue a drowning economy, restore regulatory sanity to the financial markets and extricate the country from an unnecessary war in Iraq so it can focus on a necessary war in Afghanistan.
Even with all those demands, there is one thing Mr. Obama must do quickly to begin to repair this nation’s image and restore its self-respect: announce a plan for closing Mr. Bush’s outlaw prison at Guantánamo Bay.

It's not news to me that this B.B. continues to be spewed out by these criminal elements. This newspaper along with the entire mainstream media has become an absolute criminal enterprise.
It's time to put the entire mainstream media out of business. They have done a trmendous disservice to this country with their blatant bias against christians and conservatives.
BTTT to all of the responses in this thread.

Moonbattery and breathless hyperbole aside, this editorial features just pathetic illogical writing.
What does the quote above even mean? The "taint" of Guantanamo makes our friends not want to welcome "innocent" former detainees? Are they saying this taint taints the US? George Bush? The detainees?
So Canada may not want some Yemeni fundamentalist shithooks captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan running around blowing shit up in Toronto because some Obama lawyers get some Clinton-appointed moonbat judges to declare them victims of George Bush's gestapo?
Oh the shame of this smelly taint spot falls on us all...
Zero has a following .. I don't believe it is as large as to legitimately capture the electoral votes for President, but a sizeable following none-the-less.
There's not too many palces one can lay his eyes or ears where one is not assaulted with zero-bilia ... coins, dollars, etc.
From the day Zero became 'the annointed' ... he became the annointed.
No amount of expose', nor ridicule, nor rational argument has swayed the Cipher from it's annointed task.
So the plan just keeps chugging along, merrily performing and accomplishing.
The slimes doesn't care about circulation or emplyees ... it has a mission ... reach the ones that are part of the program, re-iterate the talking points, and show they may be dieing, but not dead.
We do ourselves a grave blow by not taking seriously the coup that is being accomplished ... and all of our humorous lines merely add to their glee.
Your Editorial “The Price of Our Good Name” is just another example of the total anti-American children of Hitler and Stalin that live at the New York Times.
Why did you not say?
“The New York times committed Treason by giving the terrorist killers access into the process by which they were being found.”
“The New York Times is a totally anti-American organization that is owned, run and written in by a group of the children of Hitler and Stalin.”
“Please let the terrorist be released in The New York Times Building as we will give them money and metals for killing Americans and push them to new killing heights.”
“The New York Times wants to destroy the American Constitution and make it a left wing dictatorship like their ancestors Hitler and Stalin.”
“The New York Times lies on a daily basis in order to support the enemies of the American People just as do CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Newsweek, Time and 99.9% of all so called media.”
“The New York Times will be informed of any terrorist attack so that they can move out of the way and watch from a distance as Americans die and then cheer for their terrorist relatives.”
Much, Much more of course but hopefully your organization will go broke and be put in the trash where you belong.
So when the New York Times gets it's wish, and the Patriot Act is discarded, and the eavesdropping on terrorist phone calls program is stopped, and taxes are raised to old Soviet Socialist Republic levels, and terrorists who are back in circulation in the world because Barack Obama closed Guantanamo Bay begin bombing American citizens on American soil, all of which will take about a year or so to accomplish, none of the horrifying consequences will be George Bush's "fault".
It will all be on Obama, and his failed, Clinton administration retreads, and all the dumb, deluded fools who put these people in office.
What will the Times do then?
LOL @ the NYT...
Little Green Footballs had a poll about what should be done with them:
Repatriate them
Try them in the civil courts
House them in a tent city on the White House lawn.
Guess which one won.
I prefer to use logic based on reason.
The nyt committed treason on numerous occasions during the Bush administration's terms. Prosecuting a newspaper for despicable crimes is hardly the same as shutting down a publication because the administration disagrees with it's opinion.
These motherf#*kers are insane! Presumbably, the Times proposes we give them new identities and government purchased homes in random US neighborhoods. Local police would not even be informed and surveillance on them would be expressly forbidden by the courts.
Upon their release, we'll hand them a new suit and some reasonable length of detonation cord to get them started.
And because of Bush even our closest allies won't agree to do the same even after we set an example!
What precisely do you mean by “our good name”?
You’re not Americans. You’re just journalists.
And I’m horrified to say it, but it’s true: You and your fellow journalists have actually gotten worse since those lines first hit the air.
HA Ha! NYT at $5!
Such a dilemma. Line the bitdcage with their newspaper, or with their stock certificates!
I tried to short the NYT at $25, but ScottTrade for some reason couldn’t cover it (yeah, don’t ask me).
Bill signing statements undermine the power of Congress?
Wow!
If someone got this from the NY times website then they (the times) received ad revenue because of the hits. Never - never - go to their site download the articles or ready the paper. That paper is headed for the scrap heap of journalistic history let not help them survive.
They live in an alternate universe. None on the left have ever given a name to any American whose rights were "trampled". Our only example is Joe the Plumber, and that was done in the name of the lord 0bama, pbuh. Expect more of that in the future.
Everything else they condemn Bush for was in undoing the damages done by the Clintons (and covered over by falsified official data), and the last two years of economic lunacy presided over by a RAT congress and willing RINOs.
If not, let their slide into irrelevance accelerate.
I read that the current price closed around $5.00/share, down about 80% in the last 3 years....
"The New York Times: Like Democratic Underground, but with complete sentences."
I see my vote was in the majority.
NYT is a criminal organization and should be protested and picketed out of business. That is legal, isn’t it?
