I’m no lawyer, but Patric Frey is, and he linked to this post by Beldar, who must be — IS — a Texas lawyer to boot!
Re: 06A525 THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY V. GONZALES, ATT’Y GEN., ET AL.
This decision was a battle won for the United States on the home front in the global war on terrorism. And it’s another fine example of how the mainstream media, led by the New York Times, is absolutely willing to let you be blown to bits by terrorists in order to protect your “right to know.”
(…)
But not many people or entities besides the New York Times have the unmitigated chutzpah — combined with a breathtaking, and breathtakingly dangerous, childlike naïvety — to argue that someone inside the government ought to be able to tip off the NYT before an FBI raid, and that the NYT’s reporters ought to be able to tip off the terrorists, and then that those criminally stupid tipsters, like the terrorists, should just be able to get away with it.“I’ll bet this will make Bush look bad,” the tipsters probably thought. And that, in their eyes, is a goal that can justify anything, including another 9/11 or worse.
Read it all — very interesting . . . and far too true. (db)
