*Free press, eh? Didn't the Founding Fathers say something about the

Bush joins in condemning N.Y. Times

U.S. President George W. Bush has joined the chairman of the House
homeland security committee in denouncing the New York Times for
publishing a story last week about a secret financial-monitoring program
used to trace alleged terrorists.
"For people to leak that program and for a newspaper to publish it does
great harm to the United States of America," Bush said.
Bush added that the disclosure of the program "makes it harder to win
this war on terror."
The comments were slightly less accusatory than those Sunday from
chairman Peter King, a Republican congressman from New York.
"We're at war, and for the Times to release information about secret
operations and methods is treasonous," King told the Associated Press.
