An editorial published late Thursday said the administration was using the "same platitude" it uses in every case of overreach -- that "terrorists are a real menace and you should just trust us." The editorial continued: "Those reassurances have never been persuasive -- whether on secret warrants to scoop up a news agency's phone records or secret orders to kill an American suspected of terrorism -- especially coming from a president who once promised transparency and accountability. The administration has now lost all credibility." The editorial board claimed Obama "is proving the truism that the executive will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it."

Can’t lose what you never had.
Well then NYT and Obama have something in common.
No but you have the press in your back pocket and lose that.
Woe, the Times? Are the cracks starting to spread?
You took the words right out of my keyboard.
When it was Able Danger going after these guys my god we had to destroy the data mining threat to the world and all mankind! Everyone involved with this had to punished, destroyed . . . .
Now that it's the 1960s campus punks and their ideological issue, "the Establishment." going after the "domestic terrorists" clinging to their Bibles and guns well data mining is not entirely proper!
Until next week when Obama Inc finds out what the NYT’s favorite celebrity is and has a bash for them at the White House. Then all is forgiven, everyone’s on the same page again.
Hear, hear, we know they’ll kiss and make up in the morning.
Unless I see those words on their front page, it means nothing. The NYT will be justifying the snooping in its Sunday paper.
..and this was before PRISM was reported on.
Two losers? Both pretending to be something they aren’t?
The free circulation of ideas in America, with all the technology available today, has the potential for restoring the concepts of individual liberty which so-called "progressives" have censored from the nation's textbooks and public discourse. As in the founding period, with current technology and ability to circulate ideas, the time has come to follow John Adams advice and, "Let every sluice of knowledge be opened and set a-flowing." - A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765
"The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing." - JOHN ADAMS, A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law
"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers." - A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765
"Set before us the conduct of our own British ancestors, who defended for us the inherent rights of mankind against foreign and domestic tyrants and usurpers, against arbitrary kings and cruel priests; in short against the gates of earth and hell." - A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765
"But none of the means of information are more sacred, or have been cherished with more tenderness and care by the settlers of America, than the press. Care has been taken that the art of printing should be encouraged, and that it should be easy and cheap and safe for any person to communicate his thoughts to the public. And you, Messieurs printers, whatever the tyrants of the earth may say of your paper, have done important service to your country by your readiness and freedom in publishing the speculations of the curious. The stale, impudent insinuations of slander and sedition with which the gormandizers of power have endeavored to discredit your paper are so much the more to your honor; for the jaws of power are always opened to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing." - A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765

NO. The Slimes is just tossing a bone to make the non Communist think that they are becoming fair and balanced.
Nothing to see here.
Just like I thought, the NY Slimes is filled with racists..
I can only hope that they are each privately asking themselves wtf have they created. My guess is they are, if there is any truth in their editorial.
I also wonder how they like record financial loses for their paper and empire, as well as being constantly outmatched by the British press. That all has to hurt at some point.
Path to 9-11 was a great film.
Read the comments at the Times. Whoa! Bush, Bush, Bush. One lib even mentions that the judge giving permission was appointed by Reagan.
