Seven men arrested in the Miami area (one in Atlanta) who were allying themselves with Al Qaeda, and were planning to kill Americans, and perhaps bring down the Sears Tower in Chicago.
I’ll tell you straight: I lay this one squarely at the collective feet of Howard Dean, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedy, Russ Feingold, Jack Murtha and Chuck Schumer. This is the Braying Gang of Eight (BG8), that for three years have been screaming at every camera and microphone possible how evil the US is, how evil George Bush is, and it finally paid off for them.
BG8 can be held directly responsible for creating an atmosphere in this country that fostered such hatred for America by these men. 5 of the 7 are American citizens, the other two foreign nationals.

In documenting the French Revolution, Thomas Carlyle coined the term Fourth Estate, that being an estate (or sociopolitical body) after Royalty, the Church, and the Commoners:
Pamphleteering opens its abysmal throat wider and wider: never to close more…Alas, yes: Speculation, Philosophism, once the ornament and wealth of the saloon, will now coin itself into mere Practical Propositions, and circulate on street and highway, universally; with results! A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up; increases and multiplies; irrepressible, incalculable. New Printers, new Journals, and ever new (so prurient is the world), let our Three Hundred curb and consolidate as they can!
The New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal all apparently believe they are in the midst of the French Revolution, and are being watched by the passionately dispassionate Carlyle. Today they all published an account of how the U.S. is tracking terrorists by watching how their money moves.
Apparently, more than a few people who work for the government felt the need to leak the information to the media.
Well, there goes another tool in the arsenal used in fighting a hidden enemy. We aren’t allowed to listen in on their communications since we might be listening to an American Citizen’s private telephone conversation, and now we can’t track large transfers of money to international banks that might be Al Qaeda money.
This lunacy has to stop and it has to stop now.
First, any government employee who has leaked to the press information which compromises our national security, right down to the life and well-being of an undercover agent, must be held legally accountable, and tried, convicted and sentenced to prison for treason.
Second, these liberal socialist newspaper owners and editors who think they have the responsibility to expose all our state secrets in a wild attempt to make the Bush administration look bad also need to be held accountable. They should be subject to crippling fines for exposing secrets which compromise our national security. While they cannot be held criminally liable because of constitutional freedoms, they can and should be held civilly liable for the damage they have done to the War on Terror. Collectively they should be fined a billion dollars each (my figure) for aiding and abetting treason.
There is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees a news organization must publish everything that comes its way. And the Fourth Estate has an obligation to provide protection of the very government that guarantees its freedoms. Otherwise, it would be complicit in its own self-caused demise.
But these lefties that own the big newspapers don’t process things that far. Instead, in their efforts to make the Bush administration look bad, they continue to erode the government’s ability to protect the nation from harm.
It is an extremely arrogant position to take. And an extremely stupid one as well.
So, if you can’t jail them, sue them. Who knows, maybe the US Government will someday own the New York Times! Wouldn’t that be a kick in the old wazoo!
