That court was bypassed for whatever reason. The arguments about the legality of the program are still being debated. What does this tell me? Simple. This program is potentially illegal, and we wouldn't know about this potentially illegal program had it not been for the NYT. They uncovered potentially illegal actions. How is that not a rational justification? Partisan issues aside for one milisecond. Could it be possible that they have done good?

I enjoy the fact you ascert that becuase these people have opinions, they are completly devoid of loyalty to their country and are willing to aid the enemy. That's quite a fantastic leap.
You have a mediocre sense of sarcasm. Try keeping it to yourself eh?

I never said anything about loyalty to country. The leap was yours. I am talking about playing games...publishing something to get back at someone has always been a game played by the press. Thats how I see this.
