Jed Babbin knows national security. The NYTimes does not.
According to Babbin:
"We have had, in the past year, three instances of stories published by the Times and the Washington Post that have severely reduced our ability to interdict, capture and disrupt terrorists. These actions, by the most irresponsible press in the history of the nation, have greatly reduced our ability to fight the war against terrorists and to protect our homes from terrorist attacks. In two of the three - the WaPo story of the secret CIA prisons and the NYT articles on the SWIFT program tracing terrorist fund transfers through the Belgian conglomerate - the newspapers revealed both directly and indirectly the nations that were cooperating with us in secret. And "were" is the operative word."Freedom of press is a wonderful thing. What we have seen here goes beyond that. This is a total disregard for the safety of US citizens.
Again, check the advertisers. Call them and tell them that you do care when secrets are recklessly published on the front pages.
