Dean’s World - High Treason and the New York Times

At first I thought this business of surveillance of phone conversations between people in the U.S. and suspected terrorists overseas was no big deal. Then I realized it is a big deal. We’ve been doing things like this for decades, yes, and that’s not a secret and it’s not illegal. But it was a secret that we were now doing it specifically to go after Al Qaeda, that the rules had changed. Now Al Qaeda’s been put on notice that we’re doing it, and on how we’re doing it, and how they can work around it.I think they are all being rather timid. These leakers have exposed a perfectly legal, perfectly sensible government operation that has undoubtedly helped round up hundreds of members of Al Qaeda and saved the lives of countless Americans. Exposing such a secret program is not whistle-blowing–it is high treason.

Dean calls it and I agree.

Whoever leaked this story to the New York Times (a division of the Democratic National Commitee) should be brought up on treason charges.  Almost definitely this is someone in the intelligence community, and they should be put up against a cold wall with a blindfold.

The NYT as an organization (corporation) should be stripped of all its corporate rights and shut down.
