#1 The Slimes is trying to force the issue with Justice in order to push their fallen readership.

The reason for the coordinated release of front-page articles in the LA Slimes, the NY Slimes, WaPo, WSJ, etc. was an attempt to up the ante.

As much as I would like to see Justice throw the book at the Slimes, the best answer may be to let Americans answer by decreasing their readership.

#2 P.S. Liberals always like to play victims

#3 "As much as I would like to see Justice throw the book at the Slimes, the best answer may be to let Americans answer by decreasing their readership."

If the only consequences of the Times' perfidy were political, I would agree.

But their actions help the enemy to evade detection, encourage the enemy to keep on fighting, and enable the enemy to kill more American soldiers-- and someday, very likely, more American civilians in another mass-casualty terrorist attack.

No, this shit MUST be stopped. It's too damaging to our nation's security.

#4 It must be stopped and I am starting to not care how.

#5 Yes, it must be stopped but there are at least two guilty parties. None of this or anything else concerning a Special Access Program (SAP), would see the light of day unless someone "read-on to the program" disclosed it. That someone could be internal to the agency (worthless gummit, commi civilian or uniformed traitor), or a donk politician on one of the intelligence commitees.

#6 Actually, how it is stopped is important.

There must be a process of law.

The responsible individuals must all suffer strict consequences.

The punishment must be severe -- as severe as the law requires, and at a minimum as much as the least that previous war-time traitors have suffered (life in prison?).

The people who have been undermining the War effort must be made to visibly suffer the most painful consequences. Lose property, liberty, and in some cases life. No matter who they are, how much money they have, who their friends are, what their "profession" is. If it means the NYT owner, editors, journalists, and even some Senators are tried and executed -- so be it.

But it's got to be a process of law. Because that's the nature of this Republic. And what we need today is to establish the principle that treason is a crime and no traitor shall remain above the law.

#7 Here's what Investor's Business Daily says: "Once again, major newspapers, led by The New York Times, have spilled secrets that will make Americans less safe and the war on terror harder to win. No doubt, Pulitzers are in order. We hope they're proud. The decision by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal to print details of the government's secret program to monitor terrorists' finances couldn't come at a worse time. ..."

What exactly did the WSJ print? and why?

#8 The WSJ likes open borders and cheap labor. They are totally against the minutemen, the border fense, and pro amnesty. The WSJ is not your friend.

#9 From WaPo:
"A lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Chicago accused SWIFT of violating the privacy rights of Americans by disclosing private financial information to the government, Bloomberg News reported. The plaintiff named in the suit, Ian Walker, was described as a D.C. resident, although no further information was made available. The suit seeks statutory, compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of every American who made a domestic or international financial transaction after Sept. 11, 2001."

Be nice to know who Ian the Pious really is....

#10 So, I see that the NYT has released a propaganda video to go along with their latest act of treason.

They're learning from the Al Qaeda playbook. Bin Laden, Zarqawi, and Zawahiri love to promote their hatred of the USA via video clips.

#11 the WSJ news det is totally liberal, while the op-ed is relatively conservative. They are shills for illegals

#12 Kalle: Process of law? The problem with what the moonbats, the Donks, Murtha, and the NYT is doing is that law is used as a weapon against to the very Republic that the law is supposed to uphold. Hence, posts like Glomogum Shogum2997 2006-06-23 13:49, yesterday.

SG's sentiments are not unusual.

#13 There are laws against espionage and treason but they're not being used. Many moon bats would end up behind bars or executed if these laws were applied.

#14 Just past some new Torte Law Reform [sorta like Immigration 'Reform']. Make publications subject to civil damages by survivors of victim of attacks by enemies during time of war or war like environments. Let the standard be preponderance of evidence which can be inferred that the plaintiffs actions contributed to the death of their loved one. Unlike criminal proceedings where reasonable doubt is the standard, just the review of willful and negligent actions makes the plaintiff accountable. Read - deep pockets.

#15 It t'aint TOP SECRET anymore - FDR and WIlson did it for World Wars I + II, and while Congress has not officially declared war a de facto US national security issue is pertinent here becuz of the fatwas issued by armed Radical Islamist groups to attack and destroy the USA in the name of Islam andor Radical islam. *GOD = MORALISM = ETHICS, etal. is important > wid out these, all you have, or may have eventually, are PC, Nepotist orgs, institutions, and public authorities no better than the PC criminals sell-outs, andor de facto traitors Society is supposed to be protected from.
Public authorities become part of the problem, NOT the solution and certainly not justice. SECULAR ETHICS = REGULATION/LEGALISM/CANONISM, etc > "I CAN'T, BY LAW OR REGULATION, DO THAT", which is NOT always the same as I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD THAT!?

#16 NYT Does it Again, This weekend, Posting information from a Classified Meeting this week at the Pentagon... NYT has gone over to Al Qaeda. Lock up the Executives.

The top American commander in Iraq has drafted a plan that projects sharp reductions in the United States military presence there by the end of 2007, with the first cuts coming this September, American officials say.
According to a classified briefing at the Pentagon this week by the commander, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the number of American combat brigades in Iraq is projected to decrease to 5 or 6 from the current level of 14 by December 2007...
