July 11, 2006 -- Dozens of protesters yesterday denounced The New York Times for disclosing details of anti-terror efforts by the Bush administration.
"Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can aid the enemy in a time of war," said Rabbi Aryeh Spero, one of the demonstration's organizers.
Organizer Beth Gilinsky told the crowd of protesters, who waved American flags outside the Times' West 43rd Street office, "Listen, you old gray lady," she said, using the Times' nickname. "You might as well drop dead and die."
The protesters criticized the paper for reporting about U.S. programs to trace terrorists' bank transfers and to monitor their phone calls from abroad.
"Twice The New York Times has published national-security secrets and hurt America in the war on terror," Spero, president of the Caucus for America, said.

Excellent Mia... outstanding.
ping
thanx :)
Now that's an inspired sign. Hope it left a big welt.
The protest was scheduled for 5 until 8 pm. Some of that video on Hannity must have been taken around 5 or before, because the crowd was sparce. Shortly after that, the crowd grew and became so deep on our side that the people trying to use the sidewalk had to walk single file and could barely get through. And our place to stand was sectioned off on the street! As passersby came, some joined us. Many stayed for the three hours. For the article to say that dozens protested....there was at least a dozen of us FReepers! (Names and pictures will be posted eventually. We got home pretty late after having a brew later on!)
"Osama," came walking towards our crowd. I have no idea who he was, but when I saw him, I laughed and told him to go up front so the other side (NYTimes) could see him. He told me he didn't speak good English....he was a middle eastern man, apparently with a great sense of humor. In fact, I have his email address to send him the pictures I took of him.
When the spokesman at the time, a rabbi, saw him, he had him join him on the "stage," the back of a pick up truck. "Osama," played the part and gestured that he loved the NY Times. It was a hoot!
The protest was an excellent one! The speakers were great!
In all, it was a real success....I was proud and glad to be a part of it!
Great pics
I took A LOT of pictures with my digital camera. I have no idea how to post them. If I could send them to you, would you do it? If you can't....anyone?
I'm going out for the day, but please FReepmail me. Thanks!
Was it just online or did something run in the paper too?
Post #25 is my posting, actual article from New York Post.
Go there for a link to the article.
I understand. I'm hoping it ran in their hard copies and not just their online version of the paper.
It's in the print edition, page 28.
Slight correction: Free Republic wasn't just "in attendance," although there were about 20 freepers there: we were one of the two sponsors, the other being Caucus for America.
