Times Annual Meeting On Tuesday
Cliff Kincaid
GOPUSA
Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller is on the lecture circuit, pulling down $15,000 - $20,000 a speech plus first class airfare. When she left the paper, after spending 85 days in jail, she wrote that "In my future writing, I intend to call attention to the internal and external threats to our country's freedoms ¯ Al Qaeda and other forms of religious extremism, conventional and W.M.D. terrorism, and growing government secrecy in the name of national security ¯ subjects that have long defined my work." Those are noble sentiments. But it's the Times, more than any other media organization, which has prevented the government from solving the case of the post-9/11 anthrax attacks.
At the Times annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday, April 18, at 10:00 a.m. at the New Amsterdam Theater, I intend to ask Times Company chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. about this. I also intend to ask him why the Times violated the law in publishing classified details about the NSA terrorist surveillance program.
