And as I said in #261 on the breaking thread, the local announcer for WFLA in Tampa mentioned the story at the 9:30am newsbreak.

Just a made up rumor that GHWB did a similar thing triggered months and months of congressional investigations.

At what point does this sort of thing become crimminal? We find that Teddy Kennedy gave info to the soviets when he was running against Carter for nomination and not a word was said there either.

For folks catching up, here’s a link to the original FR thread that got this going (not my post)

War Zones on the Itinerary
New York Times, The (NY) - June 17, 2008
Author: JEFF ZELENY
It’s not just battleground states on the itinerary for the presidential candidates. Senator Barack Obama said Monday that he also intended to visit Iraq and Afghanistan before the November election.

One day after Senator John McCain met with Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari , Mr. Obama spoke to Mr. Zebari by telephone. Mr. Obama said he was “encouraged” by reductions in violence in Iraq, but added that the United States should withdraw troops at a pace of one to two brigades a month, with a goal of removing most combat troops in 16 months.

“We have no interest in permanent bases in Iraq,” Mr. Obama said.

Among the issues being discussed between Mr. Zebari and the presidential candidates is a long-term security accord between Iraq and the United States. While the Bush administration would like to see an agreement reached by midsummer, Mr. Obama said he opposed such a swift timetable.

“My concern is that the Bush administration, in a weakened state politically, ends up trying to rush an agreement that in some ways might be binding to the next administration,” Mr. Obama said, “whether it’s my administration or Senator McCain’s administration.”

Mr. Obama , who has not been to Iraq for more than two years, said last month that he would like to visit. After speaking to Mr. Zebari , he sounded more definitive, saying, “I told him that I look forward to seeing him in Baghdad.”

Mr. McCain has invited Mr. Obama to take a joint trip to Iraq, a gesture that Mr. Obama dismissed as a political stunt. Alex Conant, a Republican Party spokesman, said it had been nearly 900 days since Mr. Obama visited, in January 2006.

Mr. Obama did not say Monday when he would be going, but said it would be “before the election.”

After research, Shouldnt b Hussein be prosecuted under the logan act?

The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

Maybe it’s time to freep Pelosi and demand justice.

HANNITY interviews Palin Tuesday,

Maybe he can bring this up?

Maybe he can also bring up the fact that Obama won’t go on Hannity, and is offering 10000$ to Obamas Hut Brother if Obama goes on Hannity - Palin should match the offer....that would make heads explode
