Affleck: Bush 'Can Be Hung' for Leakgate
NewsMax ^ | 4/8/06 | NewsMax

Posted on 04/08/2006 8:16:12 PM PDT by wagglebee

Actor Ben Affleck has made it very clear where his sympathies lie in the Leakgate affair -- and it isn't with the White House.

Appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Affleck charged that President Bush "probably also leaked” CIA agent Valerie Plame's name and so "if he did, you can be hung for that! That's treason!” He continued: "You could be killed. That's not a joking around Tom DeLay 'I'll do a year, I bribed the state officials with corporate money.' That's like they shoot you in the battlefield for doing that.”

Affleck also called DeLay a "criminal."

Ben Affleck is a moron. Whatever the importance of the secrecy of Valerie Plame's identity and employment history (and her "undercover" status is debatable), whether or not that information is to be or remain classified is entirely within the executive branch's power to decide. Here the President isn't so much above the law, but appears to BE the law. Handing over secrets to a foreign power (say, CHINA?) for personal gain might be a problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Still and all, there is only one guy who is saying he did that (actually hearsay that he authorized the realease of contents of an intelligence memo), and I don't think anyone in a position to know has publicly said it even contained reference to Valerie Plame.

Wow, if Bush was 1/2 as bad at his job as you are at acting, he'd never have gotten past dog catcher.... unfortunately in your business... talent and sacrifice have little to do with making it to the top... given you exist in such a world, its no wonder your world view is so screwed up.

I thought he was the best thing in Shakespeare in Love, but then I hated everything else about that movie.

I later realized he wasn't acting, but playing himself, the conceited, overbearing, full-of-himself actor.
