To the Lawyers in Free Republic land: How would a Citizens Action Group go about filing a lawsuit against the NY Times for their, seemingly, illegal release of classified Government information? It seems obvious the US Attorney General is not going to. Someone, some how needs to get this moving. Free Republic might be a good starting point.
Oh that is downright hilarious! Using the NYSlimes as your source about what's being done about the leaks.
How do you know that nothing is being done?????
Keystone Cops.
Agreed!
Stock holders suit would be more effective.
Split 100 shares 100 ways you have a class action.
Fabricated stories and leaked stories are driving down stock values.
It takes a while to get all of the ducks in a row!
It's really the other way,
You don't release classified information and then say whoops.
Its quite simple-only those with a clearance are authorized to access it. A NYT reporter would have no reason for a clearance. Ergo-both are culpable, as he had to view the info to write the story..
Yes, definitely! AND, we need to also add the administration on the mass email campaign, demanding they go after the leaker.
THIS CANNOT STAND!
Everytime I see the photo of people hanging their heads
out of the windows of the WTC I just go ballistic. Really. It makes me really want to kill somebody (the enemy.) Why is America still allowing Arabs/Muslims to come to our shores and settle here or even allowing them to just transit our territory? It infuriates me. Why are Americans tolerating these people and their insulting behavior and remarks thrown at us?
Dear Attorney General;
I am writing to you to express my dismay that National Security Secrets have again found their way into the Press. I am deeply concerned at the negligence of those involved and the high crimes that are being committed.
As a citizen of the United States, I would like to see prosecutions begin regarding those who are 'leaking' secrets to the press and I would like to see the reporters, editors, and publishers of those secrets at least have charges filed against them.
The failure of your office to enforce the laws that protect America is both disappointing and frightening to the citizens. At this time we feel defenseless in that no one is willing to prosecute actions that are clearly against the law. Actions that border on treason and aidding & abetting the enemy.
"Do you mean McCarty..not McBride?"
Well, at least I was on the right Isle ;)
The mainstream media does not want you furious at the enemies of the United States. There was hardly no mention of the barbaric torture and slaughter of the two U.S. Soldiers that were captured. They do not want you looking at pictures of 9/11 because it may give rise to a righteous anger. But the MSM wants you to look at pictures of our poor enemies being humiliated by the U.S. Armed Forces. Its a twisted logic that the MSM is engaged in that will probably cease if ever a democrat win the presidency.
Some enterprising cartoonist here at FR should depict a bleeding pen, labeled the NYT, stabbing the heart of the World Trade Center. Or the Sears Tower. Either one would work and get the point across.
Their stock performance for the past 10 years.
The NYTimes is not controlled by its shareholders, nor by the profit motive. There are two classes of voting stock. The Sulzberger family controls 91% of the Class B stock that controls the NYTimes. From (a good read) BusinessWeek Online: The Future Of The New York Times (JANUARY 17, 2005):
Like other Old Media families, the Sulzbergers have been able to maintain unquestioned control of their company by creating a new class of voting stock and reserving most of it for themselves. Among them, the various branches of the Sulzberger family control 91% of the Class B voting shares.
A month ago, I heard news of a shareholder revolt, but haven't noticed anything of it since. See further: New York Post Online: SHORT TIMES-ERS TRADERS BOOST BETS ON FALLING SHARES (May 5, 2006).
