SO you are telling me, there are "degrees" of treason?? She is a smart woman, an accomplished attorney, please don't act like she is some naive soccer mom who got mixed up in a bad relationship.
No, I'm saying she didn't commit treason at all. She wasn't willfully trying to harm America. I suppose it would be similar to the difference between murder and manslaughter. Manslaughter is not murder because manslaughter lacks premeditated intent. What she did was the "manslaughter" to treason (I don't know if there is a crime for this). There was no premeditated intent in this case. And actually, while we're on the point, I suppose there are "degrees" to treason, but no matter what the degree the traitor would deserve death in my opinion.lowing wrote:

yes, yes, loose lips sink ships. very cute. however, that pertains to classified information. during WWII, any time one of ships was going anywhere, it was classified. therefore, if you talked about when aunt ethel was boarding a ship from new york to london, you were divulging a state secret. this woman didn't share state secrets.
Where in the article did it say what messages she delivered from the convicted terrorist to his subordinates??kilgoretrout wrote:

It wasn't meant in the literal sense, thilly. But then again, how would an American have been treat if he was caught transferring messages from Nazi POW's to Berlin? I'd say this lady got off light.kilgoretrout wrote:

oh, come on. the judge knew what she shared and gave her 2 years. if you really think it was extremely damning information, you're delusional.lowing wrote:

Sure doesn't sound like she was passing along her chocolate chip cookie recipe.
And we also still try to protect those already convicted, ie. ACLU.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Yes, you've already quoted that, and I already pointed out that the judge's actions speak a lot louder than those words. It seems like his quote is rhetoric considering he only gave her 2 years.lowing wrote:

I'm a little confused by this... When you say Nazi POW's, do you mean prisoners of the Nazies or prisoners that ARE Nazies?unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Yes, that's why she's going to jail and not being freed. I also agree that she deserves a stiffer punishment. But I think the death penalty that you've suggested is rather over-the-top.lowing wrote:

your associating a woman who lost her son in Iraq to a dyke lawyer who was looking for a book deal? tell me lowing, are you purposing trying to make yourself sound like a completely ignorant, asshole? Where is the "debate and serious talk" in this thread? Should I make a new thread about Bush invading Iraq titled "new nazi hero to stand next to Adolf Hitler"? Does that fit well into your little black and white world?

I think flying airplanes into buildings, blowing up trains, and subways, and hotels, and markets, and churches, and embassies and night clubs and beheading videos, etc.....is also, "over the top". Yet this is the company she keeps. She deserves nothing less than life in prison IF you don't put her down.kilgoretrout wrote:

Go ahead, and I will debate it with you. I am surprised, it took 3 pages before you liberals started with the name calling. Might be a record.Reciprocity wrote:

ooh, an article from some Neocon "news" page. do you expect me to read that tripe analytically? Should I learn something? Yeah, sheehan is in the News as the anti-bush/anti-war posterchild. are you saying that being anti-bush/anti-war is treason?lowing wrote:

yay, semantics. ok, what exactly do Sheehan and Stewart have in common? Besides a book deal. I come back to; are you arguing that being anti-bush/anti-war is treason?lowing wrote:

I meant the captured and imprisoned troops of Nazi Germany. Shuttling info back and forth between a jailed kraut officer and the active German forces would've probably been a pretty big no-no.Turquoise wrote:

Most sources are biased in some manner. When a liberals present 'neocons' with liberal news links, won't a neocons be justified in reacting likewise? Isn't hearing both sides of an issue important?Reciprocity wrote:

Oh yes, releasing a statement, how horrible......................................
Perhaps asshole is a strong word, but if he's going to imply that anti-war/anti-bush sentiment is treason, he needs to explain that right off. Was his goal to sound ignorant and inflamitory? If he want to create a thread about some stupid lawyer commiting an act of treason, good for him, but the title he chose says much more than that. And he needs to truthfully acknowledge his own title. I read through three pages of drivel and bickering with no explanation. let's have a discussion of the defintion of treason as it relates to sheehan, which he implied. I lost my patience, and I apologize, but I'd still like to hear his answer.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
