From what I can tell, Treason would be constitutionally hard to prove. Since it's the only crime defined in the Constitution, that's what matters. I think even if he plead, you'd still need the two witnesses (which have to be witnesses to the act not what he says).

I'm sure there are lots of other crimes he can get nailed for. The Government must do everything in its power to extract useful intelligence out of this idiot. I for one would like to know how he was recruited and if there are any more like him in country. As much as I'd like to be on the firing squad, his picking out sleepers in this country and elsewhere would be infinitely more valuable. He'll be doing lots of hard time and they can always hang the death of Mike Spann on him which I am sure is a Death Penalty case (as well as sedition) if he decides not to cooperate.

I didn't mean to imply that you hadn't copied and pasted this from something, only that I couldn't find it. And the point I was making was that, IMHO, the words written in the piece were a compilation of more than one source, penned by someone who doesn't get to write under his/her own byline. And in fact with the quote I lifted were penned by someone who infers that President "Bush" is the only person to attribute the events of 911 to UBL and his band of lunatics.

GW does indeed have the last word as all Presidents do. It is called "Presidential Pardon" after the judicial process is complete.

And, again, the Walker case is breaking new ground and new precedence will be established from it.

The remarks to a cyber-friend, boomop, were only to suggest calm, which would be a novel approach here on Free Republic. A suggestion to let events, that we have little or no control over, play themselves out a bit before we start damning everyone and everything. But again, calm and patience are attributes that seems to be quite foreign on FreeRepublic these days. I sure didn't intend to put a burr under your's or anyone's saddle with my remarks. But I forgot, this is, afterall, the Free-for-all-Republic.

Merry Christmas

I did go back and click the link and this time it did take me to the MSNBC web page with the article as printed. The first time I went to the link it only took me to a page with four other links on it. Perhaps work was being done on the page when I tried to access the first time. Again, I sure didn't intend any suggestion that the ariticle was not genuine.
