Misha is full of [edited]
Yes, that Misha. The potty-mouthed, reality-challenged blowhard who goes by the name of &#34;Emperor Darth Misha I&#34; (no megalomania there, eh?) is completely full of [edited].

So is most of the rest of the rightwing blogosphere. The hysteria du jo…

[...] The President has the right to declassify national security secrets as he sees fit, despite what the New York Times says. The New York Times does not have that right and has clearly broken the law in revealing national security secrets. If publisher Arthur Sulzberger, editor Bill Keller, or reporters James Risen, Eric Lichtblau, Dan Bilefsky, Scott Shane, Stephen Grey and Margot Williams want that right they should run for President. Otherwise, they belong in prison. It is way past time to prosecute the publisher, editor and the reporters involved. Bill Keller’s excuse:We have listened closely to the administration?s arguments for withholding this information, and given them the most serious and respectful consideration. We remain convinced that the administration?s extraordinary access to this vast repository of international financial data, however carefully targeted use of it may be, is a matter of public interest. doesn’t cut it. It is a treacherous usurption of the President’s constitutional and wat-time powers.

Who Needs Gorelick’s Wall When You’ve Got the NYT?
Was it another one of Larry Johnson’s missions? How many other “former senior counterterrorism officials” describe tracking terrorist financing as a “Rosetta Stone”?

The Line Must Be Drawn
There is a line that must be drawn, one that our enemies cannot cross without suffering the consequences of their actions. That goes for actions domestically as well as overseas.

ACLU creates privacy for financial records; wonder
So take that, IRS! I don’t have to tell you nothing. Ditto Social Security. The ACLU said so. I have this right to privacy over all my financial transactions. I no longer have to report my income to the IRS or Social Security. That will save me lots …

We need freedom of the Press. It is hoped that we do not have traitors or fools running our media. Evidence seems to state that we do. If the Bush Administration can prove that this release of information is a significant threat to the security of the United States then The New York Times should not release it.

If The New York Times could have obtained this information through the Freedom Of Information Act then they should be free to publish it. If they could not then they should not publish it.
