Freedom of the press?

Headline: Bank Data Sifted in Secret by U.S. to Block Terror

Happy Independence Day from the NY Times! I hope they enjoy that freedom of the press thing that American soldiers continue to protect while they sit in their safe little cubicles publishing articles that make the war on terror more difficult for the U.S.

If only they could harness their investigative reporting energy for good instead of evil. Since they're so into discovering secrets, I say we ship a team of them over to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan to find Osama bin Laden. They keep saying that he should be our focus, not Iraq. If they redirected their efforts toward helping the U.S. instead of hating this country and our president, I guaran-damn-tee that they could find Osama in two weeks or less.
