We are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice but, were the latter (unauthorized negotiation with a foreign government to undermine the foreign policy of the United States) to be proven, we refer our readers to the following element of U.S. Code Title 18. [Logan Act?]

U.S. Code Title 18

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

It won't cost Obama many votes if it stays here at Free Republic, but it will cost him the election if we take it to our Web sites, blogs, letters to the editor, and talk radio.

I’m shocked!!!

[Sefton]

The big question, is there proof? Our Government probably knows!

Allegations of spying by U.S. rattle Iraq

Anyone know how to use the Freedom of Information Act?

[dforest]

He is denying it. This will go nowhere unless there is some audio or transcript info.

[rfp1234]

We must now ask whether Obama is merely wishing for our country's foreign policy to fail in Iraq, or whether he is working actively to cause it to fail.

It's not just Obambi, it's the entire DNC, and its media propaganda wing, trying to make the U.S. fail.

[Corin Stormhands]

Rush was talking about this earlier. We need to push this story.

[SaxxonWoods]

This article falls under the “Important If True” heading. It needs some better sourcing.

If it’s true, it should be very damaging to Obama with some independent voters.

The Logan Act won’t come into play.

[CodeToad]

This seems like an act of treason.

[counterpunch]

The rest of the media will ignore this unless John McCain makes an ad about it.
This is the kind of thing that can put an early end to 0bama.
Not because he tried to undermine US policy and possibly broke the law, but because he broke faith with his supporters, telling them he wants to get troops out ASAP while secretly trying to negotiate with Iraq to keep them there longer.

John McCain must make this ad.

[stockstrader]

This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Amir Taheri should be interviewed in PRIME TIME on the networks to research this charge.

If, in fact, it is true--it is so outrageous, so disgusting, so shameful, so traitorous (not mentioning the hypocrisy),,,,

that if Hussein had an ounce of decency in himself,,,,

he would voluntarily remove himself as a candidate.

[Texas4ever]

This will be big.... news at 11 I hope

[Neoliberalnot]

Nothing new here. Obama and the rest of the pro-terrorists “leaders” have been undermining the military for the last 1/2 dozen years.

[Plutarch]

Nothing in the MSM, but they are fretting and hand-wringing at the Huffington Post:

Please Barack Say it's Nonsense that You Tried to Stall Troop Withdrawal until after the Elections

Since its now at the HuffPo, the MSM cannot say they didn't know about it.

[Spok]

“BREAKING NEWS: Obama Allegedly Undermined U.S. Foreign Policy in Iraq”

It’s exactly what he’s been promising he’d do as President.

[theDentist]

Stick a fork in Obama: he's done

Riiiiight. How many times will we hear this pronouncement between now and November? Sorry Winged, but there's been a dozen things Obama's done that cooked him, but he's still raking in money, advertising, and the Dems are still gonna vote in his favor.

Stick a fork in Obama: he's done

Although he's having trouble, Zero is far from being done yet and to think/say so would be a big mistake. Without some proof, this will go nowhere. To push it without sources is to act like "0".

[CarryingOn]

It has always been the practice of these leftist extremist like Obama and his fellow travelers, that the end justifies the means. Whatever that can be conceived to get control will be used. The McCain photo is a stupid, immature example of how they think, but is in keeping with the Liberal’s ethic. The left’s insanity and stupidity will be on full display until the election, because of their desperation.

[beckysueb]

But as usual, there will be a huge yawn from the public.

[metmom]

I was wondering if that was legal. That post answered my question. Thank you.

[blondee123]

It is on Drudge already!

Send it out in emails to everyone! That's what I do, as I know MSM won't cover it.
