---What I find most disturbing about these stories is the fact that some of the news media take it upon themselves to disclose vital national security programs, thereby making it more difficult for us to prevent future attacks against the American people," Cheney grumbled at a GOP fund-raiser in Illinois. "That offends me."--
And me too!
"disclose vital national security programs"
Enough.
Either charge the press with treason or shut up. The President and VP need to put the smack down.
Cheney for President in 2008!
I think we have a dangerous situation today where the U.S. press is trying to get absolute freedom.Senator Jeff Sessions had an interesting comment on this subject:"If a spy comes into our country and gets secure information and gives it to the enemy,we prosecute them and put them in jail.But if a reporter gets secure information and publishes it to our enemies and to the whole world,they get the Pulitzer Prize."
I always find it interesting how our side is portrayed. By using the word "grumbles" when describing Cheney's remarks it minimizes what the VP is talking about and the seriousness of leaking classified info."Grumbled" as if Cheney was some senile, old, cranky man grumbling over cold porridge. In fact most of these so called journalist aren't fit to wipe Cneney's boots.
Have an obvious question, why not go after the one who is leaking the secrets to the media?
Check out all who have top security clearance and who know the "secrets" to begin with. Whoever is leaking the info needs to be in federal prison. Isn't that what they are given top security clearance for? Not to disclose sensitive material?
The Times hates President Bush so much they want him to fail at protecting the American people from death. The New York Times has chosen the door with the tiger behind it...
