Media Minute Men?

Powerline's "Trunk" on the New York Times reporting on US surveillance of international financial transactions, a program whose details are classified:

The Times and its likeminded media colleagues will undoubtedly continue to undermine and betray the national security of the United States until they are taught that they are subject to the same laws that govern the conduct of ordinary citizens, or until an enraged citizenry decides, like Bill Keller [editor], to take the law into its own hands and express its disagreement some other way.

"Trunk" is a lawyer, so one assumes that this sentence was carefully constructed to not actually be what it comes very close to, a threat.
