"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.

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

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.

water board the reporter and find the leak. that is the one you want to take out

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.

[LurkLongley]

It's hard to decide who to be more pi**ed off at, the NYT, the leaker, or Specter; although there is plenty of crap to go around.

Prosecute these idiots to the fullest extent of the law!!!!

FWIW, I wrote to the Times Friday night and I have not received the Keller letter. So they are FOS on this one too. I had to come to FR to read it, of course.

I also wrote to Sen. Specter demanding that he use the power of his Committee to subpoena the Times and demand the names of its sources. He and his fellow Congressmen simply cannot continue to standly idly by while the unelected tyrants at the Times and the Washington Post usurp their authority as the proper overseers of the Executive Branch and guardians of classified information. I tried to appeal to Specter's sense of Congressional duty in defending the powers and prerogatives of Congress. I think he is more likely to ageree with this line of reasoning than with a criminal prosecution of a newspaper.

I will say this is the first time in my life I have been angry enough to write the Times and my Senator about anything. I think a lot of Americans must have reached the same conclusion this weekend, which is why Bill Keller had to release that BS letter today. We need to keep up the pressure.
