New York Times AGAIN

[39mto39g]

Have published a story about US troop removal from Iraq, A unnamed source reports from a clasified pentigon briefing that Gen Casey wants to remove troops before the nov election.

Its a good thing the New York Times wasn't around when The US and Great Britan decoded the Inigma machine in WW2.

The New York Times, one of the most important papers in the history of American newspapers, was founded on September 18, 1851 by Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones. Raymond was also a founding director of the Associated Press in 1856. Adolph Ochs acquired the Times in 1896, and under his guidance the newspaper achieved an international scope, circulation, and reputation. In 1897 he coined the paper's slogan "All The News That's Fit To Print," widely interpreted as a jab at competing papers in New York City (the New York World and the New York Journal American) that were known for yellow journalism. After relocating the paper's headquarters to a new tower on 42nd Street, the area was named Times Square in 1904. Nine years later, the Times opened an annex at 229 43rd Street, their current headquarters, later selling Times Tower in 1961.

The Times was originally intended to publish every morning except on Sundays; however, during the Civil War the Times started publishing Sunday issues along with other major dailies. It won its first Pulitzer Prize for news reports and articles about World War I in 1918. In 1919 it made its first trans-atlantic delivery to London.

The crossword began to appear in 1942 as a feature, and the paper bought the classical station WQXR in the same year. The fashion section started in 1946. The Times also started an international edition in 1946, but stopped publishing it in 1967 and joined with the owners of the New York Herald Tribune and The Washington Post to publish the International Herald Tribune in Paris. The Op-Ed section started appearing in 1970. More recently, in 1996, The New York Times went online, giving access to readers all over the world on the Web at www.nytimes.com. A new headquarters for the newspaper, a skyscraper designed by Renzo Piano, is currently under construction at 41st Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan.

In 1964, the paper was the defendant in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, which established the actual malice legal test for libel.

No one doughts the importance of a free press in keeping the "inplace" government in check. But I would question there motives as to the fact that even they said there was no wrong doing in the last thing they did, "Money wire" so if there was no wrong doing, just what was there motive, To help terrorist? to harm US citizens? to say something against Bush?
What?
In my opinion the people that run the New York times should be brought up on Treason charges. Then they wouldn't think it was "funny"

The Times can be very contreversial with some of its reporting. I grew up in NY and know everyone always was reading the times somewhere, either at home, on a bus, or in a subway car. The times is just part of New York City.

Nearly five years ago who would have thought that the NYT would be aiding global terrorism? In retrospect, perhaps a better question is who wouldn?t have thought that would be the case. The ailing, flailing and failing NYT is doing nothing more than trying to punch up faltering circulation and influence and using the world as cannon fodder for their much wounded egos.
The US public is not a bunch of half-wit alley cats looking to lap up their bowl of warm hokum n? smoke, so they have the usual and predictable temper tantrum, etc. Kind of like an ancient mastodon struggling and writhing in the tar pits of their own doing.

Anti-logistics warfare is a much a part of warfare as the bayonet, bullet and hand grenade and certainly cash flow is at the core of logistics flow and has been so in all the wars of the last century. The only thing new is the technological ability to see more and faster.
Presumably the NYT is all for that cash flow being converted into lethal weaponry and operations aimed right down our gullets, them selves included.
As Larry suggested, there is nothing really new happening, just more of it and on a more global scale. I would guess that global drug traffic money flow has been tracked for decades and, ?gasp? :ek: by the last Demo administration as well. Anybody remember the alleged ?War on Drugs?.

A lot of international damage has been done and more to come. And it comes as no surprise that the NYT ignored ranking House Demos who implored them not to run the story, alas, a house divided, and that is a story in and of its self.

I do not believe much liberal newspapers say unless I research it elewhere.

There may not be anything legal that can be done to NYT , but its not a right to have White house press badge, its a privlege. Revoke it?

Where is the NYT getting its information. Someone is leaking, more like blabbing, this info to the press. They need to be shut up not the times.

[SuperScout]

Whack both of them - the leaker and the leakee. Just because someone learns of a secret, particularly a secret dealing with national security, the right to publish that secret doesn't automatically convey.

[Robert Ryan]

Agree with Scout. Aren't laws governing national security, and what will hurt it and won't.
