Former Washington Times opinion editor Richard Miniter took his dispute with the newspaper to CNN over the weekend, telling Howard Kurtz that he is owed money and that he'd like the Unification Church to sell the Times.

Miniter also talked about the New York religious ceremony featuring Rev. Sun Myung Moon he says he was forced to attend.

It's worth noting that while Kurtz says Miniter has filed both a lawsuit and a discrimination complaint against the Times, the suit has not been filed. We've reported that Miniter's attorney, Larry Klayman, has said several times a suit would be filed, but several times pushed back his "deadline" for the Times to settle.

Klayman told TPM today that Miniter is holding off on the suit because the Times has offered him a settlement, but the Times has not commented on the case, other than to say it will be vindicated.

Miniter has, according to Klayman, filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Here's the CNN segment with Miniter:

They will settle. Anything to avoid discovery of financial sources.

It will be a sad day if they settle. What Miniter and Clayman are after here is nothing less than legal blackmail.
