If anybody is reading this,

you should know that any money you give to the the NYTimes is giving aid to the terrorists. Your privacy won't do you much good if you're in the next World Trade Center or Flight 93.

The news media have served notice that they place themselves above the elected leaders of this country when it comes to deciding what secrets we can have, and they don't appear to be motivated by concerns of defeating this enemy. As far as I can see, there's no difference between what Aldrich Ames did and what the NYTimes is doing. Both anointed themselves the judge of what secrets our government should have.

I don't know what kind of privacy right the Times thinks it is protecting, but it's well on the way to curtailing the freedom of the press by betraying the trust of the people.
