I think Pinkerton is trying to get the President in a fighting mood.
So why hasn't the Bush administration done anything? One answer, of course, is that the wheels of justice grind slow - and unseen, at least for a while. But a better answer comes from Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, who argues that the Bush administration has been "intimidated" by the media and by allied critics in Congress. That would explain the Boston Globe story on Monday, detailing how the Bushies, who once asserted that the phone taps were perfectly legal just the way they were, are now willing to accept closer Congressional supervision. So score a media-political victory for the Times.
And so the Gray Lady has every reason to think it will win this latest battle, too. The fate of the war on terror, of course, is another story - but the Times is too busy crushing George W. Bush to worry much about that.
So this is now the President's fault???
Oh good grief
Hey Pinkerton .. ask yourself why Congress never "officially" declared war?
I think if anybody jepordizes the safety or security of our troops it should be labeled as treason. Newspapers, just savage backstabbing leeches that will do anything for a story, then do anything to it to make it the big headline. Fleeting, shameful glory, that's all.
Congress has not declared war, so treason is out.
The only problem is, if the "government" goes after the NYT, the libs will scream Nazi tactics, if the Administration goes on attack mode, as they have been, then it doesn't put them in the position of trying to hush the press, it makes Americans realize that the NYT is a traitorous bunch of bottom feeders.
That headline had me wondering why the President would be afraid of Nantucket. It must be almost summer vacation time. :)
Bush and Gonzales are busy scouring the White House for testicles...
Targeting and defeating the enemy in our midst is, by far, the more difficult task and will measure Bush's resolve and courage (and his independence from the MPRDC (mutual protection racket in DC)) more than any pretty speech, more even than 'staying the course.'

If Dubya doesn't do anything about the NYT sedition, they will just keep on doing it. And count on several other liberal newspapers following suit.
