Heads on pikes

Yeah, looks like the NYT did indeed get a hold of classified info and did indeed publish it.

I want heads... on pikes!

Does anyone know what would happen to me or my brothers in arms if we pulled a stunt like that? We'd be put in a very deep hole where nobody would see us again. Still, I've seen some people even go so far as to defend this leak... okay, this is no leak. This is treason. Anyway, it's WAY too easy for people sitting around in their living rooms and offices to make light of this. We don't look out the windows and see the war that has been on us for the last 30 years or so. We see America. Everything else seems so far away. Well, it isn't. Just because you don't have to subsist on rationed gasoline and paltry allowances of sugar and butter does not mean that our nation is not engaged in a struggle with an enemy that will kill you if you do not bow to them.

These secret programs, the secret program that the NYT aired for the world to see, these things are here to protect us. They are here to give us an egde on an enemy that does not fly a flag, wear a uniform, or even claim a nation as home. They are secret so they can be effective. They are secret so the enemy does not see them coming!

Sometimes, I wish this war was a lot more obvious and that it would be fought in the open, with conventional weapons, in the U.S., if only to show people that there is indeed a war and that what individuals do can harm or help the effort... and that the success of the war effort directly relates to the safety of all Americans.

Heads on pikes, folks. This sabotage of our war effort should not go unpunished. Such arrogance should not go on without a decisive blow against it. Let's fire some people send them to the deep, dark, hole where all traitors belong.
