John Hinderaker over at Powerline took a swing at Sunday's jumbo-sized New York Times editorial and smashed it to smithereens. A casual observer would be forgiven for wondering what the fuss is about. If the Times is happy with what the administration is doing, but just wants it to follow a procedure that will yield […]
Earlier this month I posed a question about whether or not Georgetown Law School professor Jonathan Turley was practicing full-disclosure in his television appearances attacking the NSA surveillance program. When the New York Times broke the NSA surveillance story, Turley went on some Fox News program -- I don't remember which one -- and offered […]
John Hinderaker over at Powerline notes that when the New York Times is leaked a document by someone antagonistic towards Democrats, that they suddenly find their ethics policy and describe the whistleblower leaker and his/her motivations. A copy of the report was obtained by The New York Times from someone sympathetic to the Barrett investigation […]
Today's New York Times revisits the 2003 State of the Union address again and reveals nothing new. Before I quote the Times story, let me pose a hypothetical. Let's say that I want to get a date with actress Jessica Alba. Let's say that I go ahead and call her agent and try to arrange […]
I'd heard a brief mention of this last night on Matt Drudge's radio program as I was running to the store, but didn't see it running prominently on any Web site until this afternoon. Here's the big story that once again proves the utter contempt for privacy that the Chimpy McBushHitler administration holds: The Department […]
Local Democrat Rep. Bob "Castro's buddy" Filner met Lt. Smash. The result was predictable.
I caught Georgetown Law Professor Jonathan Turley on Fox News last night and it reminded me of something that I'd meant to write about a couple of weeks ago. When the New York Times broke the NSA surveillance story, Turley went on some Fox News program -- I don't remember which one -- and offered […]
Apparently hate-America-first loony liberals are taking their cue from the New York Times editorial page and demanding "proof" that the disclosure of the NSA surveillance program has hurt national security. As I noted earlier this week, the "proof" will likely arrive the next time we fail to stop an attack. Once again, Powerline has an […]
Yesterday the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress, released a report [PDF format] that argues that the NSA surveillance program is not as "well-grounded" legally as the president and his lawyers argue. While the CRS is nonpartisan -- that is, neither Democrat nor Republican -- it still has an unmentioned bias that […]
Lawyer Scott Johnson over at Powerlineblog.com has an interesting analysis of the law on the New York Times disclosure of the NSA's surveillance program. Johnson makes the case that Times reporters, editors and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., violated federal law in publishing the story and could be prosecuted. Is the New York Times a law […]
