It will come down to how much people trust the motives of the Bush administration and how much they trust the Times and similar press outlets. For me, what Bush has done was motivated as a necessity of war and a desirable (in their view) rebalancing of power, supported by Cheney's remarks. I have never heard the Times or their ilk say they want to undermine any struggle against terrorism. They don't deem the WOT an inherently bad and faulty goal or result. They accept that the WOT could be harmed as a result when they publish what they consider important news, but I have never seen a major editor say he wanted to undermine the war on terror. That's where I don't see a parallel with Bush and Cheney. The NYT will bear a cost for an end; the White House sees their actions as a double benefit.

The charge against the Times is that it set out to to benefit the enemy at the expense of the US and does so by printing that stuff. That's what treason is. The milder claim would be that the Times prints that stuff with cavalier disregard for the fact that the fallout is a benefit to the enemy. Why has an official investigation not commenced? Is it possible that these charges are nothing more than political? And has anyone pointed out the exact passages in the published stories that benefit the enemy? I would like to see if you can.
