On the Subject of Leaks - New York Times

In this editorial the NY Times conveniently ignores the fact that we are in a war against terrorists who would destroy our way of life and devastate our cities killing tens of thousands of Americans. The Times enjoys sitting in their Manhattan ivory tower pretending they are the righteous ones and that the government, at least this government, is evil.

The Times thinks it's on the side of the angels, when they are more likely doing harm to this country by exposing legitimate intelligence secrets. Yet they have failed to report any harm coming to Americans from the N.S.A. surveillance.

Of course rights should be protected, but do terrorists have the same rights as other Americans? I say the prevention of terrorist attacks takes a significantly higher priority than the remote possibility that any of my calls or emails might be included in surveillance by the N.S.A.

The Times will one day wish they had not revealed this information or taken such a high and mighty attitude pretending to know what's best for the the nation.

They have made a serious error in judgement as have those in the government who have leaked classified intelligence information.
