How Much Does the New York Times Hate America?

Even more than ABC, it seems

The flagship of Elite Media Monoculture wants you to die so that they can make a profit.

The New York Times, and also the L. A. Times, have published stories about another secret (well it used to be secret) program that was used to trace money transfers of terrorists around the globe. The idea was that if you could trace the money, you might be able to catch a few terrorists. And in fact that is exactly what the program allowed us to do. Until now, that is.

The Times reporters Eric Lichtblau and James Risen as well as the executive editor Bill Keller apparently think that the election never happened and that it is up to them to decide what national policy will be and which laws they can break and when. Never mind all of that terrorist stuff; the really important thing is to make sure that the New York Times is the real government calling the shots and not that redneck hick in the White House who got the votes.

Viewed by the Bush administration as a vital tool, the program has played a hidden role in domestic and foreign terrorism investigations since 2001 and helped in the capture of the most wanted Qaeda figure in Southeast Asia, the officials said.

[The program] has provided clues to money trails and ties between possible terrorists and groups financing them, the officials said. In some instances, they said, the program has pointed them to new suspects, while in others it has buttressed cases already under investigation.

Among the successes was the capture of a Qaeda operative, Riduan Isamuddin, better known as Hambali, believed to be the mastermind of the 2002 bombing of a Bali resort, several officials said. The Swift data identified a previously unknown figure in Southeast Asia who had financial dealings with a person suspected of being a member of Al Qaeda; that link helped locate Hambali in Thailand in 2003, they said.

In the United States, the program has provided financial data in investigations into possible domestic terrorist cells as well as inquiries of Islamic charities with suspected of having links to extremists, the officials said.

The data also helped identify a Brooklyn man who was convicted on terrorism-related charges last year, the officials said. The man, Uzair Paracha, who worked at a New York import business, aided a Qaeda operative in Pakistan by agreeing to launder $200,000 through a Karachi bank, prosecutors said.

Isn't it interesting that they admit in their article that this program has been effective and has helped in the capture of some of the bad guys? But did that stop them from blabbing it all over the front page? Well, you already know the answer to that one. No, the real agenda here is anti-Bush, anti-Republican and most of all anti-American. And yes I am questioning their patriotism because I don't think for a second that they actually have any. They are not on our side; they are on the side of the terrorists. And I say this because it should be clear by now that that is the side they are helping by publishing all of these stories. The deaths of Americans does not bother them in the slightest. But when the Bush administration and the government actually catch some of the bad guys, well that can't be allowed because it might violate terrorist rights.

Gabriel Schoenfeld weighs in on the subject of whether the journalists at the high and mighty Times might be prosecuted. Personally I want them rotting in jail. Their actions have made it very likely that more Americans will die at the hands of Islamofascists than would have been the case before they wrote the story. For that they should be in prison along with the leakers in the CIA who called them up and told them national secrets they promised to keep under wraps when they took their oaths.
