But then she came to the point. Not only had she ‘known’ the Iraq war would fail but she considered it essential that it did so because this would ensure that the ‘evil’ George W. Bush would no longer be running her country. Her editors back on the East Coast were giggling, she said, over what a disaster Iraq had turned out to be. ‘Lots of us talk about how awful it would be if this worked out.’ Startled by her candour, I asked whether thousands more dead Iraqis would be a good thing.
Many of us have been saying it all along, and now here is the proof that the media is waging a psychological propaganda-based war to undermine America's war effort against terror and terrorists. They'd rather undermine a President than support victory and ensure our future safety. Thereby, they are aiding and abetting our enemy.
That's treason.
The Merriam Webster Dictionary of Law defines treason thusly:
1. The offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power; disloyalty; treachery.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines treason as:
Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
We know what the penalty should be.
