Wow. I guess it *is* War
formal declaration in the Sunday Section
Dick Cheney accused the [NYT] Monday of making “the job of defending against further terrorist attacks more difficult.” ..."Publishing this highly classified information about our sources and methods for collecting intelligence will enable the terrorists to look for ways to defeat our efforts,” ...Cheney said he considers it “a disgrace” that The Times was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its stories disclosing the terrorist surveillance program.
No quotes readily available, but I assume Secretary Rumsfeld’s response to the NYT pi$$ing all over national security and calling it a leak was characteristically pithy.
Their response?
St. Michaels [MD] has begun to lure V.I.P.’s who, some boosters would have it, could propel it into the gilded realm of the Hamptons and Nantucket. But that will take a while. There’s little for the young — just a few bars and no beaches or nightclubs — and these new householders are too circumspect and perhaps too old to be showcasing their excesses, baubles and abs.
One is Vice President Dick Cheney, 65, who paid $2.67 million last September for a house that resembles a wide, squat Mount Vernon. Another is his old friend Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, 73, who in 2003 paid $1.5 million for a brick Georgian that was last a bed-and-breakfast.
They then, in a snark-littered article, proceed to describe, name, and point out the security measures of both men’s homes, completing the job with photos and a map.
I wonder how long it takes to deliver that free copy to that cave in Pakistan?
