Traitor James Risen of the NYT

He's an accomplice in releasing highly classified info,
(AKA aiding and abetting the enemy in a time of war, aka TREASON)
jail him.

I'm usually not one to defend ANY reporter -- let alone a leftist reporter for a leftist media outlet like the New York Times, but it's important to provide accurate information when making statements like that.

Nobody in the U.S. media "necessarily blew" those first two operations. In at least one of them, the reporting was all done based on information that had been documented in a public record by a Federal government authority -- namely, it was included in the details released as part of the formal indictment of an al-Qaeda operative here in the U.S.

Regardless of what the reporter's motives were in making those details more public than they would have otherwise been, the truth is that it was the Feds themselves who released it.

The national press corps are merely carrying Obama’s water as the president goes about destroying the United States. In that respect, the reporter is merely attending to his assigned role.

(AKA aiding and abetting the enemy in a time of war, aka TREASON)

A better description, HANG HIM!

[Just A Nobody]

I support that decision 110%!

He works for the Old Gray Whore and is therefore expendable

Crucify him

I'm curious -

How could anyone, that is an American, during wartime, think the public release of classified information directly related to national security is in the best interest of the American public and our Sovereignty

How is it not: TREASON?

This obligation has not deterred voices in and around the press from justifying both the leaking and the publishing of the leaked materials. Risen himself calls his anonymous sources “heroes.” Others, striking a tone of outrage, profess to see no public purpose served by government secrecy in this critical realm: “The message [the Obama administration is sending] to everyone is, 'You leak to the media, we will get you,' " is what Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, complained to The Washington Post. “We had thought that the Obama administration would be different,” writes Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, “a little less likely to want to menace and jail journalists... I find this utterly disappointing."

I don't know what to tell you. It angers me to no end that the communists infiltrated every aspect of life in the country in spite of the valiant effort by late Senator McCarthy.

If Risen and his sources were citizens of countries that they want to transform the US into, would have been executed in a matter of 24 hours. The paper that would have published that would have been no more and its entire staff would have been ushered to hard labor for life without parole.

Turning the US into a banana republic or a communist dictatorship will one day turn on them.

We'll not allow that to happen, I'm sure.
