Sen. Jim Bunning: N.Y. Times Committed Treason
Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., has added his voice to those charging that the New York Times committed treason by revealing details of a government program that tracks financial transactions by al-Qaida and other terrorist groups.
"That the press wouldn’t have better sense than to leak critical information on terrorists so that they know what we’re doing – that scares the devil out of me,” the Kentucky Republican told reporters.
Bunning said Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should empanel a grand jury to decide if the Times’ publisher, editors and writers who were involved in the story should be indicted for treason, the Louisville Courier-Journal reports.
"In my opinion, that is giving aid and comfort to the enemy; therefore it is an act of treason,” Bunning said. "What you write in a war and what is legal to do for the federal government, or state government, whoever it is, is very important in winning the war on terror.”
The Senator’s spokesman Mike Reynard said Bunning was singling out the Times, even though the Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal published similar articles, because the New York paper was the first to run the story.
"The New York Times drove this story,” Reynard told the Courier-Journal.
Former Attorney General Ed Meese on Monday accused the New York Times of "giving aid and comfort to the enemy,” a term that fits the definition of treason.
And on Sunday, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., urged the Bush administration to seek criminal charges against the Times for its reporting on the secret financial-monitoring program.
We’re at war,” the New York Republican declared, "and for the Times to release information about secret operations and methods is treasonous.”

Coulter: N.Y. Times Committed 'Treason'
Ann Coulter once said that her "only regret with [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."
Her acid comments about America's most influential newspaper no doubt found new meaning in the wake of the Times' decision to disclose top-secret programs the U.S. government is using to capture terrorists.
"Thanks to The New York Times, the easiest job in the world right now is: 'Head of Counterintelligence -- Al-Qaida.'" Coulter wrote Wednesday in her syndicated column. "You just have to read the New York Times over morning coffee, and you're done by 10 a.m."
Coulter was writing about what she called "the latest of a long list of formerly top-secret government antiterrorism operations that have been revealed by the Times," noting that "last week the paper printed the details of a government program tracking terrorists' financial transactions that has already led to the capture of major terrorists and their handmaidens in the U.S."
To Coulter, a lawyer, that amounted to nothing less than treason, and she wants the newspaper punished for betraying a vital antiterrorism operation meant to prevent future 9/11s.
"Maybe treason ended during the Vietnam War when Jane Fonda sat laughing and clapping on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American pilots," Ann recalled. "She came home and resumed her work as a big movie star without the slightest fear of facing any sort of legal sanction.
"Fast forward to today, when New York Times publisher 'Pinch' Sulzberger has just been named al-Qaida's 'Employee of the Month' for the 12th straight month.
Observing that prior to the Vietnam War, "this country took treason seriously," she charged that Americans are now being told that newspapers have a right to commit treason because of "freedom of the press."
Liberals, she wrote, invoke 'freedom of the press' like some talismanic formulation that requires us all to fall prostrate in religious ecstasy. On liberals' theory of the First Amendment, the safest place for Osama bin Laden isn't in Afghanistan or Pakistan; it's in the New York Times building."
Freedom of them press, she explained "does not mean the government cannot prosecute reporters and editors for treason -- or for any other crime. The First Amendment does not mean Times editor Bill Keller could kidnap a child and issue his ransom demands from the New York Times editorial page. He could not order a contract killing on the op-ed page. Nor can he take out a contract killing on Americans with a Page One story on a secret government program being used to track terrorists who are trying to kill Americans ...
"The federal statute on treason, 18 USC 2381, provides in relevant part: 'Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States ... adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000.'"
Citing the cases of at Ezra Pound, Mildred Gillars ("Axis Sally") and Iva Toguri D'Aquino ("Tokyo Rose") who were all charged with treason for radio broadcasts intended to demoralize the troops during World War II, Coulter wrote that the first two were were severely punished and Pound committed to a mental hospital.
"There was no evidence that in any of these cases the treasonable broadcasts ever put a single American life in danger. The law on treason doesn't require it," she wrote.

That Thing can utter whatever she wants to, just as my dog can bark whenever it wants to. It's just noise.
That Thing is not employed by any legitimate print news outlet. It was fired from The National Review and MSNBC.
Who the hell cares what she says anyway. A majority of Americans thinks she and the Bush administration sucks.
And anyone can be a "best selling" author if the Goopers buy up all your books. How many Pulizer Prizes or Nobel Literature Prizes has she won?
Bwahahahahaha!
She's a clown and a scarey looking one, too.
Uh-oh. Looks like The Thing has been caught plagiarizing. We knew she was "phoney."

Bwahahahahahaha!
Here's the story on Annie's plagiarised work.
Typical cheating loud-mouthed phoney.
http://tinyurl.com/zu4ps
Ann Coulter's whatever,
Seems little Annie crawed under your skin didnt she?
In case you missed it here is the reason she knows what she is talking about:
Ann Coulter is the author of four New York Times bestsellers —How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)(October, 2004), Treason: Liberal Treachery From the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (June 2003); Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (June 2002); and High Crimes and Misdemeanors:The Case Against Bill Clinton (August 1998).
Coulter is the legal correspondent for Human Events and writes a popular syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate. She is a frequent guest on many TV shows, including Hannity and Colmes, Wolf Blitzer Reports, At Large With Geraldo Rivera, Scarborough Country, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, The O'Reilly Factor, Good Morning America and has been profiled in numerous publications, including TV Guide, the Guardian (UK), the New York Observer, National Journal, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle magazine, among others. She was named one of the top 100 Public Intellectuals by federal judge Richard Posner in 2001.
Coulter clerked for the Honorable Pasco Bowman II of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and was an attorney in the Department of Justice Honors Program for outstanding law school graduates.
After practicing law in private practice in New York City, Coulter worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan. From there, she became a litigator with the Center For Individual Rights in Washington, DC, a public interest law firm dedicated to the defense of individual rights with particular emphasis on freedom of speech, civil rights, and the free exercise of religion.
A Connecticut native, Coulter graduated with honors from Cornell University School of Arts & Sciences, and received her J.D. from University of Michigan Law School, where she was an editor of The Michigan Law Review.
Having been named valedictorian of her graduating class at Wellesley, Rodham graduated in 1969 with departmental honors in Political Science. She became the first student in the history of Wellesley College to deliver a commencement address when she spoke at her own graduation [10]. Her speech received a standing ovation and she was featured in an article published in Life magazine.[11]
In 1969, Rodham entered Yale Law School where she served on the Board of Editors of Yale Review of Law and Social Action and worked with underprivileged children at the Yale-New Haven Hospital. During the summer of 1970, she was awarded a grant to work at the Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge, Massachusetts. During the summer of 1971, she traveled to Washington to work on Senator Walter Mondale's subcommittee on migrant workers, researching migrant problems in housing, sanitation, health and education. For the summer of 1972, Rodham worked in the western states for Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern's campaign. During her second year in law school, she volunteered at the Yale Child Study Center, learning about new research on early childhood brain development. She also took on cases of child abuse at New Haven Hospital and worked at the city Legal Services, providing free legal service to the poor. She received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Yale in 1973, having written her widely recognized thesis on the rights of children [12], and began a year of post-graduate study on children and medicine at the Yale Child Study Center.
Hilary is brilliant, accomplished and respected.
Ann Coulter? She couldn't get elected Senator no matter how many books she writes nor how many of her gooper minions buy them up to get her on the NYTimes best seller list.
By the way, being on the NYTimes best seller list means you sold a lot of books, not that the books you sold had any merit.
And if the NYTimes is such a monster in the minds of the goopers, why do you consider it an honor to be on the NEW YORK TIMES best seller list?
Shouldn't that be a disgrace to you goopers?
Bwahahahahahaha!
Ann Coulter's Something or other:,
What on earth does Hitlery have to do with the NY Times or Ann Coulter?

I wasnt paying any mind to the New York Times!
I have no clue who Ann Coulter is on the best seller list of, but hey good for her!
As for Hillary,
She is also the most stupid individual not knowing or pretending not to know who her husband was poking while she wasnt looking!
Hillary will do what it takes to win. But most people will remember her husband couldnt keep his dick in his pants and let Bin Laden Slip Away!
Marie: I wouldn't even bother giving your leftwing goon squad commenters here the time of day.
I like Haloscan commenting so much better because I can solve the problem of these clowns with two words: 1. Delete 2. Ban.
It's become clear that these left wing fascists are out to trash the free speech rights of anyone and everyone who dares to call them what they are.
I hope you won't be intimidated by them.
Thank's Mike,
Maybe enableing No-Anonymous-Posters will solve the problem.
