What about the New York Times

Traitors or Patriots......you make the call.
As for my opinion I believe they will do anything to embarass this administration anyway they can. If a Dem was in office and did this, we would have heard nothing.
They are opening our playbook for all the bad guys to see, and who cares if they are following bad guys money!

I guess the dozens of speeches that Bush gave where he pledged to cut off the money supply to the terorists and use money flow to help hunt the terrorists provided no clues or help to the terrorists. But five years after 9/11, a story about that same process is printed, and you think it will somehow help Al Qaeda, who long ago switched to diamonds and hawalla for moving money? No. Enjoy your righteous indignation, but I won't pretend that you are making sense.
The real sin of the New York Times is to inform the American public of the extent of big brother's growth:
Quote:| Some of those officials expressed reservations about the program, saying that what they viewed as an urgent, temporary measure had become permanent nearly five years later without specific Congressional approval or formal authorization. |
|
Why have a rational discussion about putting checks and balances in place when you can pretend that nothing is happening?

Good point, but, they were asked not to and they did. not only that they named a country, a bank and other details that Bush never mentioned.
Fucking Traitor Scumbags!!!!!

When you and your left wing elitest party have a real solution instead of cut and run then I'll give your opinion and jaded response a second of thought.
The times are so far left they have actually fell off the globe. I just suggest you guys get a viable candidate and one on one training lessons on how to operate a friggin voting machine. And despite what that dem candidate in San Diego says, A person does need to have a valid I.D. and be a cirtizen to vote!!

I agree with Jonny.
The first amendment and freedom of the press is not supposed to mean that you disconnect your brain and print everything no matter what. Do these people have no morals or patriotism, oh wait they only care about ratings and money.

What was the point of printing that crap if it wasn't meant to be a kick in the balls to the white house?
It was done with malice and discontent and my new friend in Florida proved that hands down. Angry at what you think was stolen from you really makes me glad to be an independent voter, that way when I see Pelosi or Cheney or any of those worthless orbs in government I can honestly say "what a bunch of not a very nice persons" and I can feel sorry for the flocks of lamb that will defend those people with such vigore.

This whole thing reminds me of Jonny's thread on the death of common sense. Printing something just because you have the right to doesn't make it smart or ethical to do so.

I disagree. Back when the last Dem was in office, the Times pounded him on his fault too. The editorials and the news stories both raked him over the coals for lying about that hummer.
But I got a question about that Hush Bimbo talking point: the Whitehouse told the NEWSPAPER about it and then said please dont print it. Why would anyone tell a newspaper about a story and then ask that it not be printed?
There are only 2 ways this story could have been leaked:
1, there is a rat in office and they leaked it
2, the administration wanted it to get out for political gain.
Which one is it?

Malice and discontent? No, merely discontent. Some emergency measures were taken in response to 9/11. That's fine. But here we are five years later, and people are starting to think that maybe we should have a discussion about them - when, how much, in response to what, in what framework. The real malice in this thread and on talk radio is directed against the media for 'helping' the terrorists, even when it can be shown that the story didn't help the terrorists at all.
The revelations themselves were not incredible or stunning - most people assumed that something like that was going on. Bush indicated he would do it. The idea that people and their representatives should debate and legislate on this matter is not a kick to the balls of the White House. It's called representative democracy.

More talking points.............get beyond those bro.
Howcome when Feingold says we should reduce troops in the next 12 months, that is called "cut & run"?
But when General Casey says we will be able to reduce troops in the next few months, that is considered "staying the course"?
Its because those are talking points and buzzwords used to trick the general public. Only the people with their heads deepest in the sand still believe that shit.

You just don't get it. First, it wasn't just a bank. It was an exchange based in Belgium that that handles the transactions of thousands of banks and networks of banks. But it doesn't matter if the names of western banks or international bank networks are named. Al Qaeda isn't using them, or if they are, it is being laundered:
Quote:
By some estimates, hawala handles more international transactions in the Middle East Asia and the Pacific then the established banking system. Certainly, they service a larger client base.
Most hawala operations are unregulated. Few records are kept and transfers are handled informally and, in most cases, with no real oversight. This offers al Qaeda, and those supplying it with money, an ideal channel for handling its money transfer requirements. Many hawalars are also well connected with banks in Asia and the Middle East. Their transfer accounts raise few questions and are employed for settlement between hawalars, hiding completely the transactions originator and ultimate receiver.

I knew a guy that did the Chinese equivalent of Hawala, and you could walk into his place of business, hand him $10,000, and that amount (minus a handling fee) would appear almost where on the planet you want within 24 hours - in dollars, gold, or the local currency.

No, I guess you dont get it!

Well, the official reason: "President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Treasury Secretary John W. Snow and numerous Republicans in Congress have vigorously defended the financial tracking program as legal and valuable and condemned its public disclosure. They have suggested that the articles might tip off terrorists that their money transfers could be detected"
Which is bogus if you read the document I referenced on a US military website, which states that Al Qaeda lives on a small budget that is easily broken up into even smaller chunks which can then be transferred anonymously. Never mind the dozens of other sources that have stated that Al Qaeda also converted much of their cash to diamonds and gold to be transferred by courier.

Roberts Wants Damage Assessment Caused by New York Times Report
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a former newspaperman himself, argued Tuesday that The New York Times served no public interest when it exposed an effective and classified program that tracked terrorist money transfers.
Sen. Pat Roberts also asked Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte to make an official assessment of the damage done by publication of stories by the Times and other newspapers about the SWIFT account tracking program.
"We cannot continue to operate in a system where the government takes steps to counter terrorism while the media actively works to disclose those operations without any regard for protection of lives, sources and legal methods," said Roberts, R-Kan., who as intelligence chairman has been briefed extensively on the efforts.
A group of Republican senators flatly accused the Times of damaging the war against Al Qaeda and argued vigorously that the paper, which took the lead in exposing the program, was irresponsible.
"This isn't about freedom of the press; it's about what is prudent in a time of war. The New York Times has the right to print whatever it sees fit to print. I want to make that very clear. But just because you can doesn't mean that you should," Roberts said.

Good in the sense of Mother Teresa? No. Good in the sense of providing information that the people in a free society should have? Maybe. Traitorous in the sense that it will help Al Qaeda? No.
Rove wants to use the remaining years to cut taxes again and privatize social security. But things look bad for the upcoming elections. So its time to wave the flag, and call any one who is not 100% behind the administration a traitor or coward. No evidence that it that story will help terrorists, but plenty of evidence of grandstanding by conservative politicians.
