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.
