Do the phrases " I may not agree with what you say but will fight with my last breath you right to say it" and " Innocent until proven guilty" mean anything anymore. To me they were the cornersones of American sensibility's but Alas they seem to have been swept aside by political expediency. Oh and on a passing not Linkster the Canadian medical comunity is one of the best paid and best trained in the world. Ok this one's not as good but I'm off to dinner with the misses so it's all ya get!

Then again, if the President in his Executive capacity has to make the decisions, then giving extremeists the ammunition to recruit more suicide bombers by telling the American people that 9/11 was an inside job, thereby saying that the Government's blaming of Islamists is shifting the blame unfairly on to them is undermining the President's authority, so perhaps it is treason after all.  My goodness Lingster, I think you've turned me into a Republican!

Don't confuse treason with stupidity.

Don't confuse treason with stupidity.

Don't worry, I won't.  Stupidity is forgivable.

It's "presumed" innocent until proven guilty, and that's a limitation on the government, not on me.  I am free to reach my own conclusions.

As for defending the right of people to commit sedition or treason, whichever it is, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a Founder who was willing to do that.

Update:  I've just read that Pelosi's actions are against the Logan Act, which I understand to be part of the Constitution, whereas Mowlam's actions were with the backing on the Prime Minister.  Just thought I'd clear that up before anyone else criticises me.  I therefore retract my comment on Pelosi's actions – I agree that she shouldn't have gone if it violated the US Constitution, and, as the penalty is apparently three year's imprisonment, she should be jailed for her actions.

What about he Republican delegation that went there a few weeks before after it was asked not to by the White House?

They were on a purely fact-finding trip, not trying to do foreign policy deals with the Syrians.
