#1 "The blunt reality here is that there is a war against the war."

Except for a few on the Left, this is not primarily a "war against the war." It is a war against a) George W. Bush, b) Republicans in general, and c) against American society the way it has traditionally, and is presently, configured. America is under assault by two enemies simultaneously: the Left, and Islamic imperialism. And I am convinced we have little chance of winning the war against the latter unless we first declare-- and win-- a war on the former.

"It is the jihad of privacy fetishists whose self-absorption knows no bounds."

Wrong. It is a jihad all right, but it is one in which its antagonists only pose as privacy fetishists. Allow them to regain power, and you'll quickly find out how little they really care about quaint notions like "privacy."

#2 You know, I really, honestly, believe they are just plain stupid. Stupid is as stupid does, right? There can be no other answer. If they had half the intelligence of a 12 year old they would understand not just the damage to our security apparatus but also how it makes the Dems and LLL look to those much sought after Indies.

#3 Wrong, Jack. They know of the damage they cause, but they are, if nothing else, arrogant. Arrogant enough to think that once back in power, the democrats can fix any damage caused by them, the Drive-by-Media.
By definition, they drive by spraying bullets with the intent to destabilize American society.
They challenge our security and undermine our efforts. Dave is right, they must be stopped.

#4 Nothing stupid about this. Given the timed and coordinated release of the SWIFT article across multiple news outlets, this was performed by the NY Slimes for impact.

#5 Lincoln has his temple in Washington. His is one of the face upon Mount Rushmore. His face adorns the second denomination of paper and first of coin within our commerce. He is an undeniable element of the Republic. All the editors and media pundits who savaged him and ‘his’ war remain largely veiled and hidden today. They are not celebrated. They are not honored. Lincoln jailed editors for far less damage to the war effort than the actions displayed today by the egotists of the Times, both New York and Los Angeles. Somehow, though easily understood, the Republic survived and survived well even though said personages of the MSM did end up in jail. The Republic will survive again without the presence of those who do damage to the war effort.

However, as a lasting impact upon their thinking, let us urge our law makers to alter the torte laws, to make such action accountable to future victims of terrorism which potentially could have been avoided if such secrets had not been revealed. Make the finding of culpability determined upon ’reasonable’ expectation rather than some higher standard. See ‘deep pockets’. Wonder what the operating costs will be when the insurance rates go through the ceiling? Isn’t this the same penalty that MSM urges upon other business and industries as a solution for substandard performance that endangers life and limb?

#6 They are not stupid. They are actively engaged in warfare against the United States and in that war have allied themselves (with full knowledge and understanding) with our enemies.

In order for the Democrats and the left/media to 'win' is for America to lose the WOT - and lose big. And the more Dead americans they can plaster on their front pages the better. And they will do anything - *anything* to advance their goals.

They are fully aware that revealing these secrets place our men abroad and civilians here in danger. They are counting on it - the more bloodshed the better.

They are hoping and striving to create a repeat of the 'Vietnam War'. The 'Glory Days' of Kerry and the left.

And it isn't 'stupidity' - they fully understand what they are doing. Remember these are 'professional' journalists and politicians.
