"€œGod willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world
without the United States and Zionism."€ -- Iran President Ahmadi-Nejad

NY Times

In addition to spilling the beans on the NSA program and also on the Swift fund monitoring program, American Future points out an article in the Wall Street Journal (paid subscription) which reminds us that on December 15, 2001, a New York Times correspondent Philip Shenon "reported that, on the previous day, F.B.I. agents had raided the offices of two of the nation's largest Muslim charities—the Global Relief Foundation and the Benevolence International Foundation."

"According to federal officials, Shenon informed Global Relief's leaders that the FBI would soon raid its facility. Murdock quotes U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as having said this in a August 7, 2002 letter to the Times' legal department:

    It has been conclusively established that Global Relief Foundation learned of the search from reporter Philip Shenon of The New York Times . . . [this tip-off] seriously compromised the integrity of the investigation and potentially endangered the safety of federal law-enforcement personnel.

Two months before the raid, the Treasury Department added Global Relief to its list of designated organizations under Executive Order 13224.

Shenon is still working for the New York Times." (American Future)

Clearly, the NY Times is not working in the best interests of the United states.
