When Freedom And Security Collide

I find myself seeing both sides of the argument when it comes to the issue of the New York Times publishing a story about a classified government program. Of course, some of the statements being made about the incident strain the limits of credulity. I must go on record as saying I am not a huge fan of the New York Times.To say that the newspaper promotes a liberal agenda is akin to saying the Pope is Catholic.It goes without saying. But the people who are saying that what the New York Times did is tantamount to treason are more than a little off base. If you haven't heard, the Times published a story about a "secret" program the W administration was using to track down sources of terrorist funding. Now, I used quotes around "secret" because before the Times story ever came out, I knew W was following the terrorist money trail.

Some of the findings of the report submitted by Avant Group Inc.of Pierceton were released during a special meeting Wednesday.However, the expected explanation of the report was not received because representatives of Avant failed to show up for the meeting. Pierceton Town Council members assumed there was a mix-up regarding the meeting date and hope to reschedule it for early next week. The cleanup of the Perry property, located at the northwest corner of Market and First streets, is projected to cost a minimum of $160,000.The greatest concentration of contaminants seems to be around a leaking underground storage tank on the property and, the report noted, it is possible that the contamination extends "off site."This means that some leaching of contaminants may extend under the street(s) adjacent to the property.
