Pete Williams is also reporting that it takes at least two eye witnesses to make a treason charge stick and in his words they would have a hard time getting taliban people to testify against him. that being said, what can GW do? i would suggest they are going for what they can make stick! we may not like it, but thems the rules!

Thanks. My posting to the forum has been a problem so this is just a test to see if it works.

" i would suggest they are going for what they can make stick!"

So we only go for the sure thing, is that what this is? I had thought Bush was more courageous than that. Prosecutors can and do try people on several charges at once. Juries decide which ones are going to "stick." That's how it should be here. Charge 1--treason, to be followed by the lessar charges, as appropriate. If the jury doesn't convict, that's a sad outcome, but at least the case was tried in a court of law. What's the matter with these people? Have they been bitten by the Clinton bug? Will they only do something if the polls approve? I really did expect better from this admin!

I already read your profile before I posted. So let me rephrase...why bother? Clearly your views are, shall we say, a minority opininion. A very small minority. Nothing Bush or any other President does is going to do get your approval.
