Anti-war warriors "Has The New York Times declared itself to be on the front line in the war against the War on Terror?" the New York Post asks in an editorial headlined "The Gray Lady Toys With Treason." "The self-styled paper of record seems to be trying to reclaim the loyalty of those radical lefties who ludicrously accused it of uncritically reporting on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction," the newspaper said. "Yet the paper has done more than merely try to embarrass the Bush administration these last few months. "It has published classified information -- and thereby knowingly blown the covers of secret programs and agencies engaged in combating the terrorist threat. "The most notorious example was the paper's disclosure some 10 days ago that, since 9/11, the Bush administration has 'secretly' engaged in warrantless eavesdropping on U.S.-based international phone calls and e-mails. "It's not secret anymore, of course -- though the folks who reacted to the naming of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative aren't exactly shrieking for another grand jury investigation. "On the contrary: Democrats and their news-media allies -- particularly on CNN and CBS -- are openly suggesting that the president committed an impeachable offense and could (read: should) be removed from office." The newspaper noted that in May the New York Times revealed that the CIA was using a private airline overseas to move captured terror suspects, and that last week the Times not only let it be known that the New York Police Department has been using plainclothes officers during protest demonstrations, but it also printed photos of the undercover agents. "Does the New York Times consider itself a law unto itself -- free to subversively undercut basic efforts by any government to protect and defend its citizens?" the New York Post said.
