Retribution. Plain and Simple.

Hey folks,

I wrote this article Monday morning. I decided to go with the Reason for the SC Ruling article because I wanted to see if anyone else would point these things out today. I didn’t see nor hear anything about it. So, it’s up to your's truly, to point out the obvious.

Did you catch the NYT Weekend With The President's Men article this weekend? There is only one way to describe it. Retribution. Plain and simple. Someone needs to address the New York Times and more specifically it’s editor, Bill Keller. Let’s break it down a little bit for some of my LWL friends that may need assistance to think on their own.

Not to mention reporting NOTHING but negatives from the "front", {A posh hotel room where they hunt and peck for the bad} the NYT "breaks" the wire tapping story. This was proven to be false. Then they "break" the story of the top secret money tracking system, causing this most effective tool to be done away with. Did I mention we are at war. I know this is a hard concept for the NYT. I know this is a hard concept for the intelligent deficient Mr. Keller.

What they did stirred major controversy. Many are calling for them to be investigated after MANY on BOTH side of the isle asked them not to run it, including Mr. anti-war/ anti Bush himself, Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania.

Now this weekend, in a time or war, the NYT decides to print this story. It tells EXACTLY where you can find the Vice President’s, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s houses. It tell you where, describes them, and even tells you how much they paid.

One of the things that is TRULY amazing is the fact that it leads with a picture of Donald Rumsfled’s house including his security camera’s. In case you miss it, they TELL you, "There’s a lens in his bird house."

It names among others, Joe Trippi, Howard Dean’s presidential campaign manager in 2004, just to say they were not just signaling out Republicans. Now it goes on to talk about the town, which is just basically fluff to "fool", or better yet, give the LWL something to say about it other than what it is.

Come on folks, are you serious? You are telling me that printing an EXACT location, description, complete with photo’s of their security systems, of the homes of these powerful players in the war, is NOT retaliation for them speaking out and calling for them to be punished for their blatant disregard for American citizens safty?

I have a suggestion for the NYT. Why not just change your name to the al-Qaeda Times and get it over with. Or how about just move to Iraq and give them the paper for free. Someone needs to deal with this situation and they NEED to bring the NYT down a few notches.

Never before in our history have we had this blatant recklessness, and disregard for the security of this country during a time of war, by a major news organization. Never before in the history of this country have we had a news organization completely manipulate the news, including just plain making things up, to attack our President on a nearly daily bases. Never.

The NYT is COMPLETELY out of control and it needs to be reined in and kept in check. There is such a thing as limiting information in a time of war. Mr. Keller needs to go minim. He may indeed need to be charged. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing. If he will not stop, then he needs to be stopped, and it IS, just that simple.
