"On the basis of the newspaper article, I think it's premature to call for a prosecution of the New York Times, just like I think it's premature to say that the administration is entirely correct," Specter told "Fox News Sunday."

I am starting to wonder if the NYT leaks are coming from Specter.

The New York Times editors should be tried for high treason and suffer the maximum penalty.

Peter King was one of the Clinton Five, apparently because he wanted clinton to give his wife a job in the embassy to Ireland. But recently he seems to be making more sense.

Yes, the Times has been guilty of treason many times over, and unless they are punished in accordance with the law they will keep right on doing it. They hate our country and take every opportunity to help our enemies. They are completely without patriotism or shame. Nothing less than jail terms will persuade them to stop this pattern of behavior.

Preferably good long jail terms, which their crimes deserve.

I sent Spector an email right after his appearance this morning requesting that he step down as chairman of the judiciary committee. His refusal to condemn the NYTimes for printing this highly classified information, and his refusal to give the benefit of doubt to the President is the last straw for me regarding Arlen. He needs to step aside and let Sessions or Kyle step up.

He's absolutely right. They should be indicted, and so should their sources.

You're right, of course, we all should make as much noise as we can about it....thousands of people mad as hell making a lot of noise. That would be a good thing.

Moreso the sources - you can be angry with your dog for taking your sandwich, but it was you who left it where he could get it.

Don't get into a food fight with a group that buys ink by the barrel. Cut off their funding.

It'll be interesting to see how the NYT stock faires tomorrow. I'm betting it will decline... again.

I'd like Peter King to cite me the Federal law that has supposedly been violated in this case. Much as I hate to come down on the side of the NY Times under any circumstances, I think he'd have a hard time making the case that the newspaper violated any U.S. laws when the financial records in question are stored in a database in Belgium.

That's a very plausible hypothesis - it would do the dirty work for Sen. SPECTRE by getting the issues and classified info out there in a big way, while he pretends to be statesmanlike in trying to consider all side and arguments, etc. One thing for sure, I don't trust him for an instant. He is the worst kind of RINO, the kind that constantly gives the Demagogues a spurious "bi-partisan" cover for many of their worst tendencies.

I sure hope you're not holding your breath on SPECTRE stepping aside -- he will clutch that judiciary comm. chairmanship to his last breath. He should have been thrust aside in the 2004 election, but we're stuck with him now.

An aside, I was talking tonight with a family member who lives in PA, who is highly non-political and cares little for either Republican or Democratic pols..... and he said that SPECTRE's comments made him wish that Spectre had been defeated by Twoomey!! I only mention this because if people like him are saying this then SPECTRE's stock with the 'middle' of the electorate must really be sinking.

The times is not a dog pilfering a sandwich. The Times like the person who leaked the information is responsible for their treasonous actions.

LOL; I'm not holding my breath, but it sure did make me feel better after I sent him the email. Its good to hear about what the folks in PA are thinking about Arlen; I hope they are also feeling completely disgusted and embarrassed by Mr. "the US is a greater threat to peace than North Korea or Iraq" Murtha.

King, R-N.Y., said he would write Attorney General Alberto Gonzales urging that the nation's chief law enforcer "begin an investigation and prosecution of The New York Times — the reporters, the editors and the publisher."

We are at war. The MSM refuses to admit this new reality. What the NYT did was treasonous and if illegal, should be prosecuted relentlessly. I would not mind my tax dollars used to break the NYT's bank.
