Treason - Prosecute the NY Slimes!!
Finally a politician with the gumption to say what we all have been thinking - The NY Slimes needs to be prosecuted for it's treasonous acts of devulging intellegence secrets and aiding the enemy.
Damn, if Rep. King didn't hit the nail on the head, the Slimes IS "pompous, arrogant, and more concerned about a left-wing elitist agenda than it is about the security of the American people." But not all politicians have the cojones to do what is right, chicken hearted RINO Arlen Specter wants to do nothing.
The guy is a smuck, a Donk in Republicans clothing. The Slimes committed a treasonous act, and Specter wants to wait hoping it will all blow over. What a waste of a Senate seat.
And naturally the "Press" feel that the Slimes did nothing wrong.
"...did not act recklessly," "...American citizens are going to be glad they had" What planet are you living on Lucy? The Slimes report has endangered all Americans lives, and we are suppose to be glad? I am a very strong proponent of the First Amendment, I believe in a free press, but there comes a point when the press needs to act responsibly and withold reporting stories that could endanger the lives of Americans and reveal secrets to our enemies. The Slimes is their blind hatred of the Bush Administration, has cross this line, both with latest story and the NSA wiretapping story. And for this they need to be prosecuted.
And under what law can the Federal Gov't prosecute the Slimes? Section 798 of Title 18, the so-called Comint statute.
Read the commentary by Gabriel Schoenfeld in the Weekly Standard to understand why and how they can be prosecuted.
The Slimes was knowingly irresponsible and they should NOT be given a get-out-of-jail-free card for this crime. Prosecute them now, before they cause any more harm to our nation's security.

The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee urged the Bush administration Sunday to seek criminal charges against The New York Times for reporting on a secret financial-monitoring program used to trace terrorists.
Rep. Peter King blasted the newspaper's decision last week to report that the Treasury Department was working with the CIA to examine messages within a massive international database of money-transfer records.
"I am asking the Attorney General to begin an investigation and prosecution of The New York Times _ the reporters, the editors and the publisher," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. "We're at war, and for the Times to release information about secret operations and methods is treasonous."
The conservative lawmaker called the paper "pompous, arrogant, and more concerned about a left-wing elitist agenda than it is about the security of the American people."

"On the basis of the newspaper article, I think it's premature to call for a prosecution of the New York Times, just like I think it's premature to say that the administration is entirely correct," Sen. Arlen Specter said on "Fox News Sunday."

Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said the paper acted responsibly, both in last week's story and in reporting last year about the wiretapping program.
"Its pretty clear to me that in this story and in the story last December that The New York Times did not act recklessly," Dalglish said. "I think in years to come that this is a story American citizens are going to be glad they had, however this plays out."
