Pound was captured in Italy by American troops and put into a cage. He describes it in the Pisan Cantos.

He was committed to St. Elizabeth's mental hospital in Washington by his friends and admirers, including T. S. Eliot, because if he hadn't pretended to be crazy he would have been tried and executed. He was a great poet but an odd duck.

Which is what should be done in the case of the four traitors at the Times and the government traitors who leaked to them.

While we're at it, can we get the traitors in Congress too?

Why only 4? The NYT has a whole building full of executives, editors, writers, reporters and advertising sales people. They even have pressmen.

All should share in the punishment!

The executioners; arms should tire with the pulling of the power switch!

His poems didn't rhyme then, and still don't.
