MSM Outrage
It is the worst of Times -- The New York Times and LA Times, that is. Against the expressed passionate requests of the Bush Administration based on national security concerns, both organs nonetheless chose to publish more stories about a completely legal effort to track global financial transfers so as to find and catch terrorists.
How contemptible . . . the papers are essentially tipping off terrorists. When the Founding Fathers provided for a "free press," it's hard to believe that this is what they were hoping for -- "journalists" who couldn't wait to expose secret programs designed to protect the country.
Americans should contact the top ten advertisers in each paper -- and let them know that the shame that attaches to these papers is likewise shared by those who support them.

What do you suppose they were doing with "American citizen's financial data"?
I'd like to see these people prosecuted for treason.
And the person who leaked the info to them. That person had to be in a sensitive position. Until someone is thrown in jail for some of these leaks, they'll continue.
I agree, time to indict the Times. Both of 'em.
amber, GREAT idea that 2nd amendment! Have citizens able to protect the country from overthrow by lunatics...brilliant!
That free press...right. I can live with the free press. I have no respect for them, but I grudge them their rights. Nevertheless, they got their info from _someone_. I heard somewhere today that it was from people who had done or were doing contracting for the Feds. If that's true, their contracts cover this sort of thing. At the very least, they should be facing jail time.
The prolific dittohead has asserted that "they" "apparently illegally searched American citizen's financial data".
Was that the information of all American citizens? (All 300 million or so of us?) Or just some? And, for that matter, are you certain they were citizens? Not everyone within these borders are citizens, of course.
For that matter, did dittohead, upon learning of this "apparent" unlawful search, immediately change his or her PIN? Because obviously someone in the Bush Administration now must surely know it.
So, to sum up, you don't feel YOUR financial information was compromised?
Do you think that anybody's was, really?
big, bad, scary brown people away.
racist!
Dittohead wrote, "Very likely this will be investigated by Congress and we'll learn more in the process."
And why do you believe this? What significant issues raised by the Bush administration have ever been investigated by the Republican Rubberstamp Congrees we have now?
Are you expecting Sen. Pat "Bush Lapdog" Roberts R-BrownNose or Sen. Arlen "Gutless Worm" Specter R-Spineless, to actually uphold their oath of office? Why?
What evidence have you seen that the Republicans who control Congress are more than whining yip-yappy terriers? Spinless apple polishers, the Republican Rubberstamp Congress is content to let President Bush do whatever he pleases because he's a Republican. You apparently expect this to change--why?
Please tell me you have something to hang your hat on--I could really use any ray of hope. Unfortunately, I just don't see one emanating from this Republican Rubberstamp Congress.
