#1 I am well-versed in the espionage laws relevant to this story and others -- laws you have plainly violated. I hope that my colleagues at the Department of Justice match the courage of my soldiers here and prosecute you and your newspaper to the fullest extent of the law... I also hope the DOJ grows a set and prosecutes the NYTs.

#2 Dead on target, Lt. This letter should be an Op-Ed in a major newspaper - to begin getting the opposing message to the crowd that swills the major paper Kool Aid. I doubt that many of them have the first clue that there is opposition.

Let's see if a major paper will step forward.

LOL, just kidding! Never happen.

Thank you PowerLine / Besoeker.

#3 What the MSM and the west really dont understand is that the basic Arab/Muslim Jihadi wannabe aint that smart or sophisticated. Yes some are college educated, but most are very plain-vanilla that have undergone some whack-job religious experience. Examine the 9/11 job, they left a trail of clues and even their applications for Visas were full of errors. They were on the FBIs radar screen only we didnt realize what they were up to until it was too late. We can pretty much guarantee that they cant pull that off again, but they were a not the best and brightest of the Arab world. Programs like the phone and bank monitoring programs are successful because our enemy is really naïve enough to think that nobody can listen to their conversations or track their bank actions. The capture of Al Qaidas #2 9and others) guy show you just how susceptible these guys are to a good surveillance program. The NYT didnt do anybody any favors by showing just how good those programs.

#4 they were a not the best and brightest of the Arab world.

I wouldn't be too certain of that. It's a pretty low standard.
