SUPPORT THE NEW YORK TIMES!
Well, they were wrong about WMDs and Judy Miller and Jason Blair, but that shouldn't stop us from supporting them now in their our of, yet again, scapegoat.
We need a watchdog press and this new smear campaign is nothing more than an attempt to muzzle the watchdog. NYT is not perfect, but it is the best in the country and we should stand by it. Remember the Pentagon Papers?
Will Bush be hiring "plumbers" now, too?
Support NYT. If they go down (which they won't, hopefully), then the free press is endangered. Remember, they didn't steal these documents. Someone leaked them to them. Ellsburg went to jail, maybe this leaker will too. But The Supremes refused to stop publication. Of course, this was back in the early seventies.
