#2 What bothers me more then the Times (which bothers me a lot by the way, the publisher should be arrested)is the fact that we have people in the NSA that commited treason and will probably go unpunished.

#3 How the Hell are we supposed to win this war-- or any war, for that matter-- with these people running around loose and undermining everything we do?

You know what? This morning, reading this article, what little was left of my "Inner Liberalhawk" finally died-- murdered by the NYT and the lying scumbags of the Democratic Party.

This is going to end in civil war.

#4 What the MSM and the Democrats have done here is make it sound like thousands of ordinary people have been wiretapped. The White House has made it very clear there were only 36 persons who were wiretapped and that only because they had ties to Terrorists organizations. This wasn't the Government listening to Smith and Jones, but Mahmoud and Mahmet. SOmone needs to go to jail over this and it's not anyone in the White House. The leaker and leakee should be prosecuted.

#5 Who is going to call to task the US Senate for endangering the US?

#6 Did the info provided to the NYT come from NSA people, from the CIA, or some congress-critter? I am unclear on this. I am not at all, however, unclear as to my disgust and revulsion aimed squarely at the traitorous NYT and its continuing acts of perfidy. The clearly un-American activities of the NYT need to be addressed.

#7 The NYT is a filthy rag whose scumbag editors promote wreckless endangerment, libel, and treason. And that's all the more disgusting when you consider that 9/11 occured on their doorstep. Anyone who subscribes is a fool.

It is one thing to Bush-bash, but it is quite another to distort the news, slant the headlines, and encourage treasonous leakers. It's about time that Bush, Cornyn, and others to start naming names of writers and editors and demanding special prosecutors to ferret out the lawbreakers.

#8 I propose that we stop using "New York Times" and "NYT" and start using "Sultzberger's/Robinson's NYT".

#9 Turn Dowd over to those Aussie hardboys terrorizing ladies on the beaches.
No matter how she takes it - her position couldn't help but improve.

#10 I am reminded of a line John Houseman delivered as Mr Wabash, CIA Biggie, in "Three Days of the Condor":

[Wabash talks about his entry into the US intelligence field.]
Mr. Wabash: I go even further back than that. Ten years after The Great War, as we used to call it. Before we knew enough to number them.
Higgins: You miss that kind of action, sir?
Mr. Wabash: Nope. I miss that kind of clarity.

After the 60s-70s, when this sort of half-baked angst-ridden stuporous navel-gazing hot tub tummy-rub chattering pseudo-intelligentsia was tres chic, we have come full circle. Precisely those who reveled in destroying the institutions that had saved Freedom from Nazism, are in charge of those institutions, today... And working hard for their Tranzi masters.

As dupes and stooges of Socialism, they have become the photophobic 'evil' creatures of the gray zones they once thought they were 'outing' and defeating (Danial Ellsberg, The President's Men, Church Committee, Philip Agee, et al).

Though unintended and ironic, they have brought us clarity.

Thank, Pinch, old boy, now we know whom to shoot first when CWII comes.

And come it will.

#11 I look forward to hearing the President's speech tonight. I expect him to follow up on his hard hitting speech of yesterday. Pelosi is a lieing bitch and the NYT is a bunch of traitorous lapdogs. .com is right, as usual. The hammer needs to come down, and hard.

#12 Wait for the POTUS speech tonight, and then decide if it's "money time". CWII indeed. Our reps in congress (both houses and mostly political whores) need to be reminded loudly where their butt butter comes from. If the GOP does not come out swinging over this they are dead. The MSM / Dhimmicrat / Moveon triumvirat is going to go wild sow with this. The GOP needs to counter their bluster with endictments and prosecution for crimes that are substantiated in fact as opposed to rampant BDS which is all the left has going. Time to open the Home Front for real. No waiting for 2008....get r done now.

#13 I would think that each one of us should send a FAX to each of our two senators and one to the representative denouncing this traitorous behaviour by the NYT and certain Senators. We must ask them what they think about this behaviour and what they are going to do about it. We will advise them what we will do about them in the next election, depending if they have a spine or not. In business-like, respectable language, of course, this time only.
