| NYT Tips off Terroists Front to Raid | |
| 2004-09-29 | |
The Justice Department has charged that a veteran New York Times foreign correspondent warned an alleged terror-funding Islamic charity that the FBI was about to raid its office — potentially endangering the lives of federal agents. The stunning accusation was disclosed yesterday in legal papers related to a lawsuit the Times filed in Manhattan federal court. The suit seeks to block subpoenas from the Justice Department for phone records of two of its Middle Eastern reporters — Philip Shenon and Judith Miller — as part of a probe to track down the leak. The Times last night flatly denied the allegation.

| #7 I want to see the editor of the rag known as the "New Yourk Times", explain the nuances of the first amendment, to the relatives of anyone killed by a terrorist attack, perpitrated by individuals involved in this incident. In a closed room. |

| #6 A free press doesn't include treason or sedition. We don't have a free press. We have enemy propagandists masquerading as a free press. |

| #5 What I would like to know also is how and from where Shenon got the information in the first place. |

| #4 You know, if anyone o these terrorists get away or off because of this, then I want to see the editor of the rag known as the "New Yourk Times", explain the nuances of the first amendment, to the relatives of anyone killed by a terrorist attack, perpitrated by individuals involved in this incident. |

| #3 A much more effective solution would be for the FBI to name the reporters and say that they were cooperating fully in the investigation of the terror cell. |

| #2 If this is true they should be in jail. A free press doesn't include treason or sedition. |
