#1 Not funny. Too close to the truth.

#2 Funny in a black humor way - and biting as a critique of the Times.

#5 BTW the satire was right on the mark.

#6 Wickedly accurate - and perhaps predictive, I fear.

When will we accept that the customary and comfortable approach is a woefully insufficient response?

The ante has been upped and the gauntlet thrown down. I hope Bush gives Atty Gen Gonzalez the green light and takes this head-on. Just as with The Corner article today on amnesty indicates, I believe everyone in political office grossly underestimates how quickly support for prosecuting these traitors, both the leakers (a no-brainer) and the publishers (tougher, but still easily a majority) would build.

Do it Dubya. Get righteously pissed and show passion, as you did in the news video sound-bite, repeat, repeat, repeat, and it'll take root. Then unleash your Junkyard Dog - Gonzalez - and pound the Bully Pulpit.

#7 "When will we accept that the customary and comfortable approach is a woefully insufficient response?"

Most likely after one of our cities gets nuked. I hate to say it, but that's probably what it'll take.

#8 Dave: I thought 9/11 would have been enough, it certainly should have been. Unfortunately I was wrong.

#9 I 'spect we all thought it was enough. Lesson learned, though.

#10 You mean this isn't an actual New York Times front page article?

I couldn't tell the difference.

#11 Dave D and Besoeker: It has been interesting watching the country since 9/11. I hoped folks would awaken, but it seems that no one was really changed. People who loved America before, now love it more. The people who didn't...

I don't think nukes in our cities will awaken the moonbats. Moonbattery appears to be terminal.

#12 The byline of B. Arnold makes me think it's humor.

#14 Thanks for reminding me to check what Scott Ott's dog, Scrappleface, has to say about the NYT.
New York Times Secretly Sifting CIA Data
(2006-06-23) Under a secret program launched in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, which killed 3,000 people on American soil, The New York Times gained access to private information from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and disseminated it periodically on paper and electronically to al Qaeda and other terror organizations.
EFL

Times executive editor Bill Keller, in a hastily-called news conference, assured Americans that the scope of the intel-sifting and sharing program is strictly limited and that the results are crucial to the success of the war on the war on terror EFL

Ott rocks!

#15 "I don't think nukes in our cities will awaken the moonbats. Moonbattery appears to be terminal."

Oh, I think we all know that by now. Those of us who support the war know it; the moonbats know it, and are determined not to wake up, ever; but most importantly, the enemy is beginning to figure it out, too-- just like North Vietnamese general Giap did, watching Walter Cronkite's "America Can't Win" broadcast after the Tet offensive in '68.

And I think the enemy is delighted by what he sees. Positively delighted.

#16 Gotta agree with DD. Too close to reality to be funny. The NYT is our enemy within and is more interested in a headline reading America lost than a headline reading America wins. But then this is nothing new for east coast news. I wonder if colleges are covering the years of "Yellow Journalism" in their history classes. What's that old saying? Those that do not learn from history are...
