NYT 'SPYING' SPLASH TIED TO BOOK RELEASE Fri Dec 16 200 11:27:16 ET DRUDGE Newspaper fails to inform readers "news break" is tied to book publication On the front page of today's NEW YORK TIMES, national security reporter James Risen claims that "months after the September 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States... without the court approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials." Risen claims the White House asked the paper not to publish the article, saying that it could jeopardize continuing investigations and alert would-be terrorists that they might be under scrutiny.

Ronnie Earle, the Travis County, Texas, district attorney, is apparently furious about a television advertisement that accuses him of being politically motivated in winning an indictment of Rep. Tom DeLay, Texas Republican. Mr. Earle's office has responded by notifying the ad's sponsor, the Free Enterprise Fund (FEF), that he plans to subpoena the District-based organization. The TV ad, which saturated airwaves in Austin, Texas, said: "A partisan prosecutor with a political agenda can be a dangerous thing," and compared Mr. Earle to a snarling, vicious dog. Good. Its about time Earle fought back. BTW still having trouble providing a link. Do you know what a link is?
