Traitors at New York Times Reveal More Secrets

Posted on June 25th, 2006 by Chuck

Why does this not surprise me? The New York Times releases classified material…again! This comes on the heels of another release of classified material which I blogged about earlier, found here.

The top American commander in Iraq has drafted a plan that projects sharp reductions in the United States military presence there by the end of 2007, with the first cuts coming this September, American officials say.

According to a classified briefing at the Pentagon this week by the commander, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the number of American combat brigades in Iraq is projected to decrease to 5 or 6 from the current level of 14 by December 2007. (snip)

General Casey’s briefing has remained a closely held secret, and it was described by American officials who agreed to discuss the details only on condition of anonymity. Word of the plan comes after a week in which the American troop presence in Iraq was stridently debated in Congress, with Democratic initiatives to force troop withdrawals defeated in the Senate.

When the New York Times releases this kind of information, I wonder who they are working for. I know the Times has fallen on hard times lately, but to sell out to al-Queda and Usama bin Ladden. Its time for the US to get serious and prosecute these types of disclosures. If you throw people in jail for releasing sensitive material, they will stop doing it.

Beth at Viva La Blog seems to be as irritated as I am at the NYT.

Another leak so soon?
It looks like the Old Grey Lady is determined to prove she is above the law. And perhaps, has declared her own war against the administration of the United States.
They are publishing classified information on troops levels. This is really out of hand!

But the Muslim Question I believe has the best quote and picture of the day.

Benedict Arnold, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, Ted Kazinski, and Timothy McVeigh (among others) would be mighty proud if they were still around to watch you guys work your traitorous magic.

Right on target. When people can’t tell the difference between Al-Jazeera and the New York Times, there is a problem.
