The NY Times now has twice reveled to the people who would kill us all, the Top Secret methods we use to track and catch terrorist. The Government begged them to not print this information yet in their zeal to attack Bush (the real enemy) they used their first ammendment rights to tell the terrorists how we catch them.
Should the Editors of the NY Times be arrested for helping Al Queda escape detection?

Yes they should be arrested, and they probably would have been if this had happened during past wars. (You know...when the country's security MEANT something)

arrested?! that may be extreme. if you want to punish these idiots, then americans have to unite and stop buying their crap! you arrest a few of them, the paper will hire more idiots...if you dont buy the paper, you put them out of business. my bigger concern is the person in the white house willing to sell government secrets to a newspaper, that person needs to be caught and arrested! some government secrets are bad and we should know about them, but some make no difference. okay, the gov't is tracking terrorist funds, i thought they told us that after 9-11! it wasnt shocking to me

Arresting them would only turn them into martyrs. I think that if the right continues its assault on the paper, it will continue to decline in readership and sales, thus eventually defeating it in the "right" arena -- capitalism.
