Man, ain't freedom of speech grand. Bush is really starting to irritate me. He has lost me on the borders, spending, farm bill, bloated other bills, failure to act in lots of matters. Now this. It is alright to smile when some yells nazi at him, but this? Give me a stinking break.

He gave the order, or it wouldn't have happened. I'm guessing it's because Hu want's it. What's one peon to sacrifice for the sake of diplomacy?

Have some clergymen located their sense of perspective, not to mention their backbones, testacles, and iintestines??
Amazing. There IS hope for us.

All it takes is a phone call and the case will be dismissed.
To think Bush has no part in this is naive.
Our compassionate conservative is turning from Dr. Jekyl into Mr. Hyde.

"...how Bush pushed to have her jailed in order to please his newfound Chinese friend."
Exactly.

"willfully intimidating"
I'll bet Hu was really intimidated.

Do you really think he can or should if there was an infraction? Have you thought of the consequences of him stepping in? Imagine the questions created by having the President step in now and "pardon" her. We would all be wondering what else he has stopped, pardoned, excused or ignored. And I mean, Democrats specifically. It would be political suicide. He could pardon her when he leaves office w/no repercussions.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she's tougher than she looks, but all the same, I wouldn't be betting high money that he actually regarded it as a threat of criminal action by her.

Do you really think GWB is personally charging her?
Do you really think she would be prosecuted if GWB didn't want her to be?
To: plain talk
I think she personally threatened a head of state
An old lady says "Your days are numbered ." At best, that's ambiguous - to me, it seems that she was saying that a regime as repressive as Hu's couldn't last. In any case, if that's a personal threat against the head of state, there would have to have been thousands of prosecutions for threats against Bush, Clinton, etc. When someone on Free Republic said that Clinton's days were numbered, should they have been prosecuted?
To: msnimje
Bush has the power to call off the prosecution with little more than a snap of his fingers... He most certainly CAN NOT!
You think that Bush has no influence as to whether or not this woman gets prosecuted? Really?
To: jw777
He could pardon her when he leaves office w/no repercussions.
You mean after she spends her 6 months in Federal prison?

I saw 107. So basically, she has to spend 6 months in federal jail, and wait for an after-the-fact pardon when Bush leaves? I consider that unacceptable.
Prosecutors have all kinds of discretion when it comes to who gets prosecuted for what. The president has all kinds of influence. I think it would be worse for GWB if he lets this woman go to jaiil for merely voicing her opinion - you think the Dems will jump all over him if he lets her go; that will be nothing compared to if he does nothing to stop her from spending time in Fed.
To: Stone Mountain
i guess we'll find out. i'm confident she won't be charged. but, you never know with these pandering Govt. types.

I wish I shared your optimism. If enough of the public makes a stink about this, she might have a chance. Otherwise, she'll be jailed as an example for anyone else who might wish to express their free speech "rights" in front of our president.
