| NY Times At War With Cheney and Rumsfelt |
| 2006-06-30 |
| Beware of travel feature stories posing as invitations to terror. "The New York Times points cranks, radicals, al-Qaida operatives and would-be assassins to the summer homes of [V.P. Dick] Cheney and [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld" writes FrontPage Magazine's David Horowitz, who sees the June 30 Times feature article as an apparent retaliation for administration "criticism of the Times' disclosure of classified intelligence to America's enemies." In the "Escapes" section of the June 30 edition, the N.Y. Times printed huge color photos of the vacation residences of Cheney and Rumsfeld, "identifying the small Maryland town where they live, showing their front driveways and, in Rumsfeld's case, actually pointing out the hidden security camera in case any hostile intruders should get careless," Horowitz writes. Times Travel section writer Peter Kilborn even makes sure enemies of the two men will know such details as where Mrs. Rumsfeld shops in the eastern shore town of St. Michaels, Md. where the two administration officials have weekend retreats. He even lets the curious know what street the Cheneys and Rumsfelds have to use to get to their own road. It's all part of the war against President Bush, Horowitz charges. "Make no mistake about it, there is a war going on in this country," Horowitz advises, noting that the aggressors in this war "are Democrats, liberals and leftists who began a scorched earth campaign against President Bush before the initiation of hostilities in Iraq." One of the most prevalent weapons in this war, according to Horowitz, is the New York Times. Isn't there some really noisy aircraft that need to fly low over the NY Times publishers residence at all hours of the night? |

| #7 Wasn't there a parody about this recently, where the NYT would reveal the exact location of a US soldier doing recon of an al-Qaeda camp, revealing exactly all the details necessary to kill that soldier? Life is beyond parody, I think. |

| #4 There are no limits when you know you are out of power and, unless your opponent commits suicide, not likely to regain it legitimately during your lifetime. These people are beyond disgusting. I almost want full reciprocation for the entire staffs of the NYT, WaPo, Boston Globe, LA Times, SF Chron, Houston Chron, etc. Almost. |

| #3 Noisy aircraft? This is outright treason and an OVERT act to give aid and comfort to the enemy in the form of intel. Arrests and imprisonment is in order NOW and not after some slow drag-their-feet investigation which allows the NYT to give even more intel to the terrorists. |
