The Democrats are coming out fighting after taking a few months to figure out those few small paltry things they stand for, while the Republicans are fighting about closing the borders. Dick Cheney is on the offensive again, accusing the Democrats of being weak on the national defense. and alberto Gonzales has just drawn down on the seven Rastafarian al-Qaeda wannabees for plotting to blow up the Sears Tower after they unwittingly threw in with an FBI man for inertial guidance.
But as the battle lines on the map of america are more clearly drawn every day, with the possible exception of those in Howard Dean's play areas, where the crayon is preferred to the drafting pencil because of their size, bulk, unique colors and odors, the primary pipelines for actionable information for our enemies remain wide open at home.
The New York Times and the Washington Post, the two primary liberal Democratically centered newspapers of note, continue, over the vivid and vociferous protestations of the President and other governmental officials, including, at least once, members of the revered 9/11 Commission, to publish accounts betraying national secrets.
While this happenstance is not unique, and was once praised in the case of the Pentagon Papers and Daniel Ellsberg, the latter were not of pressing real-time actionable programs, whose operations were ongoing at the time of the release. No, the Pentagon Papers consisted of the classified documents relating to the american involvement and escalation in Vietnam, though classified they were. and no one was ever prosecuted for their release, an unfortunate precedent.
Today, following the litany of attacks on american interests at home and abroad, culminating with the events of 9/11, which ended with the fall of the Twin Towers, the crash at the Pentagon and the valiant resistance of the passengers on the Flight 93, we find ourselves at war with the forces of international Islamist terror — a fact the progressive newspapers refuse to admit or support.
In fact, these same newspapers can be seen to routinely belittle the war effort, find Mr. Bush a greater danger than al-Qaeda, a nuclear armed Iran and North Korea, and to trumpet every Democratic answer to our predicament, no matter how far fetched and vaporous, over common sense in every case offered.
But beyond the outright partisan hackerama associated with the gradual decline of their standards and their open advertising of the liberal Democratic agenda and causes, they have openly provided information helpful to our enemies.
These articles are far beyond those of a public interest and are designed to hinder the war effort, to cast opprobrium on the President, both at home and abroad, to alert the enemies of america to our use of a particular program in the prosecution of the war, and to demonstrate and cement their solidarity with the anti-war elements within the Democratic Party.
Thus, with the New York Times and their exposure of the NSa and the funds transfers programs combined with the Washington Post and their public discussion of the secret incarceration of suspects, we have newspapers betraying our secrets to our enemies — actionable and prosecutable offenses under Section 798 of Title 18, US Code — The Disclosure of Classified Information sections.
With the above in mind, where in the hell is Mr. alberto Gonzales?
We are fighting a war on terror, where the home front is just as important as those overseas, where the body count is being broadcast daily by the news media and mumbled hourly by the likes of Honest John Murtha, the erstwhile abscam patriot and future Majority Leader, and John Kerry, the veteran Winter Soldier and would-be President, if only the hapless Republicans would stop stealing the elections from the professional thieves.
Somebody has to get serious about the flow of information to the enemy. Just as serious, that is, as we are about IEDs, JDaMs, enhanced armor, a more mobile army, investigating the Marines for possible war crimes, the plight of the unfortunate murderers in Guantanamo Bay, the cost of the F-22, problems with the Humvee, naming the next aircraft carrier, and the idiocy contained in al Gore's turgid movie about a slide show on questionable science.
So why is Mr. Gonzales so reluctant to entertain a prosecution?
In fact, why is Mr. Gonzales so timid in general?
It's time to nail those at home who are purposefully warring against us. You know us — you, me, the neighbors, the kids down the block, mom and dad — all those who will die if and when al-Qaeda and those of their ilk, home grown or otherwise, drag a bomb over here, unannounced, thanks to the obscene machinations of the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Sure, the boyos in the newspapers have big buildings, nice offices and lawyers, but I'd like to hold their feet to the fire and on to the rest of my life forever, which, in my humble estimation, trumps their fancified roll out.
So, General Gonzales, please put a few things aside and go after the traitors in our midst for the sake of our survival. and even if you lose in court, which you might not, at least you'll send a message — to the papers, to my kids, my folks and to al-Qaeda — that maybe the cake walk's over.
But Pinch enjoys his sweets.
