One lone fanatic on a mission of vengeance and destruction or 19 in three separate aircraft–no difference to me, except in magnitude. The act was presaged in the novel and could have easily given Al-Qaeda nut jobs the germ of an idea. So could the financial transactions discussed convincingly by Clancy in “Tiger.” Anyone who read that could readily assume that such surveillance was indeed de rigeur. In fact, a sharp reader might divine that such surveillance was even more complex than what Clancy depicted.

FOX News (via Hot Air) recently put together a poll that shows that a sizable crowd supports prosecuting the MSM for publishing vital security info needed to combat terrorism….

But, that point aside, are you really suggesting that because something was in a fictional novel that bringing the real world program to the light of day doesn’t qualify as a crime?

People are still buying the NYT. If the American people truly gave a flying f#$% about any of this, they would stop buying the grey lady’s rag.

It would seem to me that no matter how dull and insipid these dolts must be, it has to be dawning on them that they have painted themselves into a corner. I can’t think of anyone in America right now who has a more vested personal interest in hoping another 9/11 style Domestic Terrorist attack doesn’t happen. If they hven’t figured it out, then I bet it might have occurred to someone in their immediate family.

In light of that, I’m reminded of a line I heard the other day. Memory fails as to who said it and it is a fragment, but it is chilling: “In the know and in the grave.” Bush gets it, as did Porter Goss. Does Negroponte?

Michelle Malkin’s Vent on HotAir.com today lays it out so easily that a blind man could see it — Why the New York Times was WRONG to expose the SWIFT-terrorist-finance-tracking program for all the world, and all the International terrorists, to see.

From my column this week: When is a “secret” not a secret? When The New York Times decides, in the interest of saving its old gray hide, that it is not. On June 22, the paper trumpeted its expose of……

And good point about the Coretta Scott King incident; the left makes a game out of knocking GW around; knowing that he can’t really say anything about it.

Much as I hate to say it, I don’t think he can really pull the White House press credentials from NYT; the administration would end up getting sued for restricting their freedom of the press. I know, I know, they *should* have the creds revoked, but realistically it can’t happen.

What would happen?

Is it or Not free speech for them, remember they can’t speak or hear and they are mad as hell at what the news reported?

Thanks Hotair for good reporting…

IT’S TREASON even after they sugar coated..

NEWS: – Republicans launch immigration hearings – Homeowners Must Lock Up Guns, Massachusetts Court Rules – Court intervenes in Calif. cross fight – Pride, patriotism on display on Fourth of July – Israeli Cabinet OKs deeper incursion into Gaza -……

Another HotAir instant classic.

I thought most telling was the comment by the WP staffer who talked about an administration and President who is trying to be too controlling; this really shows how deeply BDS has infected the MSM.

We have fallen asleep — All of us! There needs to be a special ops level, militarily organized shutdown of the NYT, LA times, Time Mag, CNN, most democratic offices, and many university offices. There is a difference between dissent and actively sabotaging the military efforts of this country on a war sparked by a direct attack on our soil, continuing with people actively taunting us.

We need swift decisive action against Iran, N. Korea. Action like Israel is taking. Action that has a chilling effect on these monsters. We can’t take that action because we are a democracy and we have treasonous behavior by those who dissent in this country. Lives are being lost, resources wasted, and effective action not taken because of treasonous behavior of those on our own soil

If we were united, all of these confilcts would be so over. It is OK to disagree in private debate or behind closed committee doors, but in public, facing the whole world who would like to see us go down, we had better be United, and show a determined effort so that no one even thinks about messing with us.

All these editors, Murtha, Kennedy, Pelosi, Ried need to be rounded up and sequestered and told, this is a democracy and we value your opinion, but since you can’t keep from betraying your country in order to advance your own personal interests, we are going to force you to be more appropriate with your opinions. This is the kindest I can imagine being to them. I can make a better case to execute them immediately.
