Because the Sentinel will never print it

Enemy of the Constitution
The New York Times, after sitting on the story for over a year, finally revealed that the President was circumventing this nation's laws in order to spy on Americans. For some reason, the criticism I've seen is wrongly leveled at the Times for daring to print the story. The fact is, George Bush had no such authority, has violated the Constitution and broken the law, and at some point quietly declared himself king.

Our Founding Fathers fought against this very behavior in the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights were written to document the grievances, and establish a government to protect the rights of citizens. I would recommend that before anyone faults the Times they read these documents. Our nation exists because of them. The President took an oath to defend them; sadly for this nation he has failed. And just as sadly, Congress will never hold him accountable for his transgressions.
