There has certainly been a lot of talk about the New York Times writers who have been giving away secrets in the mass media. They claim they are protecting the American People and World against the United States Government. The US Government has a different position and they believe that the New York Times is hurting their ability to protect the American People. The debate rages on, however both sides do have a rational reason for their beliefs. We must protect the American People and maintain an honest government. So, are the New York Times Writers and Columnists really traitors? This is indeed a difficult question to answer, nevertheless meanwhile my brother is flying a C-130 for the USMC and although not a primary Radical Fundamentalist Extremist Target they would love to get one or claim they did like the British one lost in Iraq. Giving away secrets or information about military movements could cause problems and deaths in the military of US Citizens and soldiers. Likewise tipping off International Terrorists to certain methods of information collection could cause those who wish to harm the American People and alert them to use other methods, thus shielding them from capture by US Government authorities you see? So these Prozac, depressed, wannabe writers who have never had to make a paycheck in their life and want the government to GIVE them everything, need live in their own "Gated Community" with free room and board and surrounded by their ilk. A place no one will ever try to break into; PRISON! Darn Traders say many Americans. But is that fair for all concerned? Perhaps discretion on the part of the writers of the New York Times ought to be a priority in order to protect the American People. Consider all this in 2006. |
