Why do they hate us?

My Creators Syndicate column this week is on the latest outrage perpetrated by the New York Times, last Friday's story detailing the government program to identify terrorist-financing transactions. Let me also pass along excellent commentary on Times editor Bill Keller's latest apologia (which was not available when I wrote my column) from Glenn Reynolds, Hugh Hewitt, Austin Bay, Ed Morrissey, and Scott Johnson. Five years ago I had not heard of any of these bloggers; today I seek out their work eagerly and with great profit.
