President Trump weighed in on a number of hot-button topics in a string of tweets Saturday morning, the day after naming a new White House communications director and accepting the resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer.
The president took aim at some familiar targets: the "Amazon Washington Post," leaks, Hillary Clinton, "Special Council" Robert Mueller and others.
But one missive in particular left observers scratching their heads. In a cryptic tweet, Mr. Trump accused "the Failing New York Times" of foiling an attempt to kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The Failing New York Times foiled U.S. attempt to kill the single most wanted terrorist,Al-Baghdadi.Their sick agenda over National Security
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2017
While Mr. Trump did not provide more detail about the accusation, the tweet came about 20 minutes after a segment about leaks aired on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." At one point, the chyron read "NYT FOILS U.S. ATTEMPT TO TAKE OUT AL-BAGHDADI."

I think the editor of the NYT should be arrested, given a fair trial, and then executed.
I would opt for an abbreviated version of that.
The “Failing New York Times.”

Drone them!
NYT outed a covert CIA operative. How is this not criminal?
“NYT outed a covert CIA operative. How is this not criminal?”
IMHO this is treasonous.

The democrats are leaking everything not just this but everything regarding national security to our enemies in an attempt to inhibit the President’s ability to conduct foreign policy. Of course this is treason. If we go to war I am sure they would leak our war plans. Sick aholes.
Perhaps, the peer group version of FAIR will work, using CNN, MSNBC, and NPR has the yardstick.
I didn't call for that. I called for an abbreviated version, as in

What observers? Who? The writer?
You can say THAT again !
“If we go to war I am sure they would leak our war plans”
If that were to occur, would there be a military tribunal?
If there was a military tribunal, would the gallows await?
I'm sure Session is busy working on that now.
I thought Al-Bagdadi had been announced dead already? Did he come back to life? LOL!
Baghdad-Bob neocon ME propaganda would be more entertaining if less people actually fell for it.
I hope Trump sees through some of this trash emanating from inside various agencies.
no matter what. Jeff sessions will not do anything.
I have always been impressed with the punishment system in Singapore.
Public caning in Central Park or on Wall Street might convey a message to the knuckleheads.
“My object all sublime...to let the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime.”
Maybe the most suitable punishment would be to administer to the NYTimes editor the same punishment ISIS administers to traitors.
