We have long excoriated the dhimmis at the New Duranty Times, aka the New York Times, for following in the footsteps of their illustrious Pulitzer-winning reporter Walter Duranty, who lied about the Ukrainian famine to please his master Stalin. Now the New Duranty Times has been likewise ignoring the Islamic jihad, and generally peddling the Leftist line that global terrorism is a reaction to U.S. atrocities.
Of course, with their latest bid to aid the global jihad, the Times may have finally gone too far, but in any case, Sweetness and Light (thanks to LGF) has found a post-9/11 editorial from the Durantys calling on the Bush Administration to do exactly what it now condemns it for doing. Any port in a storm, eh Pinch?
rganizing the hijacking of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon took significant sums of money. The cost of these plots suggests that putting Osama bin Laden and other international terrorists out of business will require more than diplomatic coalitions and military action. Washington and its allies must also disable the financial networks used by terrorists.The Bush administration is preparing new laws to help track terrorists through their money-laundering activity and is readying an executive order freezing the assets of known terrorists. Much more is needed, including stricter regulations, the recruitment of specialized investigators and greater cooperation with foreign banking authorities. There must also must be closer coordination among America’s law enforcement, national security and financial regulatory agencies.

Makes you wonder whether John Kerry is a shadow member of the Times' editorial staff.

Yeah, I read that earlier on LGF.
These swine are so obsessed with bringing Bush down that they don't even remember their own writing from just a few years ago.
Neither would they suffer a case of memory loss about this case of treason, but of course it is now up to the Bush government to drag them through the courts and hold them responsible for committing treason at a time of war.
Bush is NOT up to it, sad to say....

The real world implications of what the NY Times did:
A letter Lieutenant Tom Cotton, currently fighting in Iraq, sent to the Times.
“Congratulations on disclosing our government's highly classified anti-terrorist-financing program. …I spent the last four days patrolling one of the more dangerous areas in Iraq. Unfortunately, as I supervised my soldiers late one night, I heard a booming explosion several miles away. I learned a few hours later that a powerful roadside bomb killed one soldier and severely injured another from my 130-man company. I deeply hope that we can find and kill or capture the terrorists responsible for that bomb. But, of course, these terrorists do not spring from the soil. …No, they require financing to obtain mortars and artillery shells, priming explosives, wiring and circuitry, not to mention for training and payments to locals willing to emplace bombs in exchange for a few months' salary.
“You may think you have done a public service, but you have gravely endangered the lives of my soldiers and all other soldiers and innocent Iraqis here. Next time I hear that familiar explosion -- or next time I feel it -- I will wonder whether we could have stopped that bomb had you not instructed terrorists how to evade our financial surveillance.
“And, by the way, having graduated from Harvard Law and practiced with a federal appellate judge and two Washington law firms before becoming an infantry officer, 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. By the time we return home, maybe you will be in your rightful place: not
at the Pulitzer announcements, but behind bars.

The New York Times- AKA the counter-intelligence wing of Al Qaeda- needs to have its national security leakers tracked down and prosecuted for sedition.
Enough of this pussyfooting suicide of the West.

On Rush yesterday, they ran a spoof ad of the New York Times promoting itself to terrorists. Couldn't come up with a more appropriate theme.
The editorial staff needs to do a few things, and then, they'll be absolutely fine:

Why is our government so lax in prosecuting these violations of espionage law? Who/what is holding them back? Is that twice now?
-surveillance, communications
-surveillance, financial transactions
What's next?
Plug these leaks!
