Did John F. Kerry commit treason in the early '70s?

From The Patriot Post:

...According to legal experts, Kerry’s meetings with enemy agents from Communist North Vietnam on multiple occasions between 1970 and 1972 are not covered under Jimmy Carter’s amnesty as outlined in EO 4483.

For that reason, on 22 October 2004, we delivered to then U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft a “Petition for Investigation and Indictment” calling on the Department of Justice to determine conclusively whether Kerry’s actions, in direct violation of UCMJ (Article 104 part 904), U.S. Code (18 USC Sec. 2381 and 18 USC Sec. 953) and other applicable laws and acts of Congress, constitute treason, and disqualify him from any future campaign for any national office. (To read the text of the petitioners’ request, link here (http://PatriotPetitions.US/kerry/letter.asp).)

Memo to John Kerry: Where are those military service records you promised to release?

Sign the petition folks. This man should not be in a position of power. Nor should he get a pass when he disparages the troops just because he served in VietNam. Nor when he criticizes the current administration for not providing enough armor for the troops when he voted against the funding for it. Nor when he says the administration misled us into war when he himself was making the same arguments for war a few years before.

Congress failing

From The University Daily Kansan:

The institution of Congress has utterly abdicated its responsibility, and has become little more than a sad caricature of its formerly important self.

At its most basic level, Congress is charged with passing laws. ...

...

... the 109th Congress was a disappointment on every level. Just look at Congress today: rife with corruption, fractured by party disputes and power struggles and sinfully ignorant of important issues while sadly attentive to meaningless events.

Of course, when the Kansan talks about corruption, the only example they give is Dennis Hastert and his $2,000,000 land deal. They neglect to mention WIlliam Jefferson's $90,000 in "frozen assets", or Harry Ried's own corrupt land deal.

They go on to say this.

Can you blame us for not caring who wins and loses when we are really just electing the latest members of a corrupt spending machine that refuses to take its responsibility seriously? The apathy of young voters is disturbing to all of us, but Congress is doing its part to perpetuate it.

...

If our government leaders want us to take an active interest in what they’re doing, they should start acting like leaders.

Well I can blame you for not caring who wins and loses. Yes, there's a lot of corruption in congress. I can't remember a time in my lifetime when there wasn't. But let's remember what the Kansan had to say at the outset of the article: "At its most basic level, Congress is charged with passing laws".

When you think about that, maybe it does still matter who wins and loses. I'm not sure I'd like the laws the Democrats would write.

The New York Times Worries About Disclosures, The Government Caves


Published Fri, Nov 3 2006 9:09 AM

It's in the PI. "The action came after The New York Times raised questions about the contents of the government site". This is the government site that apparently proves that terrorists were in Iraq before the war. This is the government site that apparently proves that Saddam had a chemical weapons program that was "alarming" to the United Nations. This is the government site that even the fishwrapper of record now admits apparently proves that Saddam was less than a year away from having nuclear weapons.

Isn't it funny how two organizations that have been demanding that we show them evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or denying that there ever were any, now want us to cover it up? U.N. Inspectors, who claimed that Iraq didn't have chemical weapons, get "alarmed" when a document describes the nerve agents tabun and sarin, and the U.S. removes those documents from the site. The fishwrapper notices documents that describe nuclear weapons programs and complains, and less than a day later the whole site is taken down.

Wasn't the New York Times the one that wanted everybody to know our secrets? Isn't that why they keep publishing them? Hasn't the New York Times been the one yelling "show me the money" about weapons of mass destruction?

Now when there's evidence that there really was a serious WMD program in Iraq they want it shoved under the rug. That way, they can continue to blame the government, instead of having to apologize to the nation for the "Bush Lied" meme...

Leaning Straight Up has somewhat to say about this too.
