Lynne Stewart, the retarded traitor atty. for Omar Shiek Abdel Rahman was given 28 months plus 8 years.

I think this is great.

And yes I realize it may be tantamount to a death sentence for her.

Too bad.

She isn't running her Leant leftist mouth now.

  There is so much venom in you about "left" and "right" points of view.
  
  In this case, it might be more about just breaking the law and justice for doing so.

  It is about treason and our lack of dealing with it.
  
  We let spies go home... we don't prosecute anyone for printing secrets in papers or on the internet.
  
  It has to be stopped, its allowance has destroyed this country and we are going to pay for it if we don't start acting like our national security and national interests mean sonmething.
  
  We need to understand that there are certain people in this world which are our enemies. They have been, and probrably always will be. I am tired of treating countries who are not our friends as if we can trust them and those who act on thier behalf.
  
  We cannot.
  
  Comminists, Socialists and Islamic countries never have been our friends and they are not now. I am tired of the progressive Leftist policies of talk and wait till they screw you.... then talk some more.

  The thing about it though Cosette is that she really didn't see herself as a traitor. In fact when she had a lenient sentence she crowed publicly that she got off lightly. Now that justice is being done you've got all sorts of people getting mad at people who were satisfied that justice was done and mocking their Christianity - they always go there!
  
  I think more people should be brought up on treason if that's what has happened, and I don't see why no one in authority does.

It is amazing how much hate these supposed Christians can summon.

I'm a life long atheist, but whether or not Jesus was a real person, a work of fiction, or something in between, I can admire the philosophy attributed to him.

I can also admire those Christians who try to live by that philosophy. It truly would be a better world if most of us just *tried*, never mind succeeded.

But not these two. Filled with hate and anger, lusting for punishment and revenge.

Sad, isn't it?

TMMason, you are a century late. it had been done already in former USSR. They've been chasing spies and cried "treason" for as long as I remember. I am ready to throw up when I hear that again. Do you know, do you have a foggiest idea how many innocent people died in Siberian camps after that word had been said by a "concerned citizen"? I hope, times are different now, I hope, people like you are in minority. I hope that "forgive" is better than "kill". That we should look for friends not the enemies. That together we CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I don't know what true Christian means.

  Yes America is exactly like Russia and we will commence to slaughtering our own citizens just like the Russian leaders.
  
  Give me a break.
  
  If you think we are anything like Nicholas', Lenin's, Cruchev', (not real sure about that spelling, don't care actually.), and Stalin's russia in our actions, then you just don't have a clue about my country.
  
  I don't believe you would come out with something so absurd.
  
  If you think everyone is your friend in this world, then I feel very sorry for you.
  
  And I don't care what my post made you feel... but that was spoken like a true leftist.
  
  ohhh my feelings... whaaa.
  
  Spies exist in this world whether you want to believe it, or just spout the propaganda that they do not, I don't care.
  
  unfortunately they have penatrated and done thier damage to our country by means of policy minipulation and regulatory back stabbing.
  
  Spies are a fact.
  
  Russia would still be pre-WWII if it weren't for thier covert agents and operatives within our govt., military and science facilities. Which provided the mother country with immense amounts of intelligence on science, Atomic Weaponery and all the other goodies we have created, war plans, etc, etc...
  
  And that is just a fact, that is supported by all the records freshly released from all different agancies. NSA. FBI, KGB, OWI, OSS, etc, etc...
  
  Yet don't you know that all those records speak in harmony in thier verification of the spying done by Russia and China in the past 60 years.
  
  Just because the left and the Progressives want to continue to try to hide the treason they supported, and even assisted, in the previous decades, they can not.
  
  Though they have done a hell of a job in the last half a century.
  
  It is out there for all to see... and the truth is mighty ugly indeed.
  
  I don't care who like my talking about the treason commited in the past and still continuing to this day. I am not so blind and stupid to believe the world loves us.
  
  I have listened to the world... and they do not love us, regardless of what you and the Left want to think. Try actually listening to the words of the people around the world and the govts. of the world sometime.
  
  Instead of hearing what you want... you should read them signs they always carry, they speak volumes if you actually do read them and take them at thier word.
  
  They don't all love us... far from it.
  
  Ohh... and you hang spies.
  
  So Lynn Stewart is very lucky she was shown the mercy of a prison sentence.
  
  Too bad for her... next time she won't betray her country to assist the enemy.
  
  you all amaze me... you really think we live in some lil liberal fairy land world, were we can just sit around and all hold hands and sing kumbiya.

  I remember when Karl Rove (it was probably actually Bush and Cheney, but Rove just took the blame for them) leaked the identity of a political enemy's wife to the public domain WHILE she was undercover in another country.
  
  Valerie Plame was one lucky girl to get out of there.

  Good point!
  I think "Scooter" took the fall, but was then pardoned, because when a republican committs treason, they get forgiveness.
  
  Just look at all that was forgiven that administration. They have not paid for any of it.
  Same as Israel. They spy on us more than anyone...Jane Harman ring a bell? Richard Perle was caught spying for Israel, eh...no big deal.
  
  Yes, as in every issue, the far right has a very forgiving attitutde towards their traitors and criminals.
  
  As Jesus said, "Let those who be without sin, cast the first stone."
  And since they tell us that we are all born in sin.....they are breaking the code of their own religion by judging anyone!

  Sure... here you go Jeff.
  
  She was outed by her husband joe Wilsn. Another of those truths the lefts tries to hide and destroy.
  
  "A month before Bob Novak published Valerie Plame’s name and disclosed that she worked at the CIA in a department that monitored weapons of mass destruction, the gossipy Richard Armitage at the State Department already knew all about her.
  
  When asked how he knew about Plame, Armitage said he knew because Joe Wilson was "calling everybody" and telling them. And by "everybody" Mr. Armitage certainly meant reporters.
  
  With that in mind it is an easy step to suppose that it was Mr. Joseph C. Wilson IV himself who first "outed" his wife as a CIA officer.
  
  And, as Mr. Armitage also suggested, Wilson did so because he didn’t want to be dismissed as some "low-level guy." He wanted to buttress his wildly outrageous (and we now know fallacious) claims against a then popular President at the height of a then popular war.
  
  And what better way to do so than to produce the person who sent him on his mission, and who witnessed the events unfold — his own wife, who just happened to be an expert on weapons of mass destruction.
  
  To see how this may very well have happened, let’s go through the chronology in greater detail."

  Okay, wait.
  
  You claimed that Valarie Plame "wasn't a real spy," and that her name was in a news article ID-ing her as a CIA operative over a year before the Scooter Libby thing happened.
  
  I asked you to cite your source.
  
  Instead of linking to evidence that Plame "wasn't a real spy" or linking to that article you mentioned, you link to this thing from Sweetness and Light that accuses Joe Wilson of being the guy who actually leaked Plame's name to the press.
  
  The S&L article is chock full of speculation, but the chronology in interesting, and I haven't yet made up my mind if the speculation is logical or not; I need to read the intelligence report it links to in its entirety first.
  
  In the meantime, you got a link to that article, or evidence that Plame wasn't a "real spy," whatever that actually means?

It was my understanding that America has the best spies in the world and outside unnamed agencies to execute interrogations, with no boundaries of to whom or where. Israel is almost to par and I understood without these spies how would America ever gather intelligence like an example finding through US intel of weapons of mass destruction, well executed interrogations to American troops and those abroad, oh but right there wern't any in the end.

Truthfully I know little of American Politics and trust nothing I read

But why is this becoming about religion? This makes no sense

Just to make it crystal clear:

Apparently she did violate the law. It would seem she did so knowingly.

The punishment might be harsh, but only because of her age, so I am somewhat ambivalent.

What I find disgusting is the lust for punishment exhibited by the so-called Christians - one of whom who has now gone to the point of talking about hanging people!

That's ugly. It's disturbing. It unfortunately seems very common among the far right.

  More distortions.
  
  You are the one exhibiting intolerance. I am never intolerant.
  
  For those who don't know, Flightkeeper is referring to my opinions of religion. I have said, and still say, that I cannot respect religious belief. I can respect the right to have such beliefs and I will defend those rights, but I do not respect the belief itself.
  
  I do respect and admire the non-religious part of the philosophy attributed to the Jesus of the Christian faiths. I doubt the person actually existed as described and I am quite sure there were no miracles of any kind, but I admire the message of peace and love.
  
  I have known Christians who try to live their lives in that philosophy. I admire them. I do not admire the hatred and venom spewed by those who want to hang people.
  
  Flightkeeper calls that intolerance. I think we all know just how "tolerant" she and her ilk actually are.

  Aggressive is how we are perceived by most other nations. I don't have to agree with that to understand it. What I understand is that America plays Big Brother by going in some countries and proclaiming what is right and true and enforcing it on other countries, disregarding in most cases, culture and a host of other things, which only foster hate toward the US.
  
  I don't have to agree with another country's culture or habits, but understanding it does help bring a lot less animosity. Hence, yes, I think America is aggressive and in many cases, unnecessarily so, but not in all cases. I'm not a pacifist. Pacifism doesn't protect a country and its people. But why make billions of people suffer needlessly over aggression, war, and all the goes with it? That's the biggest stupidity of all, based usually on power and ego.

Plus, anyone who stands a chance of being labeled as an American by anyone who is reflecting on the question "What is it Americans stand for?" has a right to speak his or her mind about the military because, whether you like it or not, it is the military's actions that get seen as representing what average Americans think.

  As for naming names I don't have to resort to that for who I was talking to to understand.

  Apparently you do, because it isn't clear to me and so far, no one else has come forward to protest your accusations. But if you wish to use veiled accusations go right ahead, it suits you.

  I wasn't responding to you I was responding to flightkeeper.
  
  There is nothing veiled about my accusation I said some on the left make things up.
  
  Thats pretty straight forward as far as I can tell.
  
  Do I feel the need to justify myself or my statement to you?
  
  Let me think.
  
  No I don't, anything else you would like to discuss?

  All partisan wrangling aside - how is it possible that you have a score of 2, surely that is an error, or they have mixed up your hubscore and EQ maybe ?

  I find it comical that a grown man would resort to talking about a score to ridicule someone.
  
  Mine is less than yours should I be taken out back and shot?
  
  Am I less a person for having a lower score?

  I didn't ask about his score, Jim. I asked how he knew it was low because he had been away for a few days. He also stated some reported others for something and he inferred it was those from the left. I gave him a chance to respond as to how he knew this and he avoided answering. Nothing out of the ordinary!
  
  Why would I need to ridicule his score anyway? He gains enough of that by his statements here!

Let me help you. I'll t-y-p-e-r-e-a-l-slow for you.

Shock and Awe.....military DEMONstration of Rumsfelds dream.
No reason for it, other than to "get" Saddam, or so we were told....AFTER being told it was to avenge 9/11, which Sarah Palin still believed as of 2007.
THEN it was to "promote Democracy". What were the other reasons....it was so long and so many deaths ago.....
I DO know that the first thing our brave soldiers were sent to protect were the oil wells. I DO know that Halliburton got rich beyond measure,as did EXXON and Mobil, and I do know that Blackwater cause havoc, rape and murder while there....as well as being paid 2-3 times as much as our own soldiers.
I also know that the head of Blackwater is a Christian fanatic. With a mission to kill Muslims....
And I know that we "lost" billions of dollars over there....while the righties now squeak and squeal over paying American families.

So you take your pick. What was worth those dead lives?

  Chris,
  
  Shock and Awe was the military strategy in Afghanistan.
  
  Afghanistan doesn't have oil.
  
  Saddam used to be the dictator of Iraq.
  
  We were trying to get Osama Bin Ladin.
  
  It's really too much of an effort for me to connect your dots. Sorry. This is my last post to you.

  Afghanistan is intimately tied to oil. I am not saying US involvement is related to that fact, but it IS a fact that the region of which Afghanistan is a part, in particular in terms of building oil pipelines from oil fields to sea ports, is extremely important for oil supplies. Do an info search for Hamid Karzai and you'll get an idea. Again, it does not therefore follow that US involvement in Afghanistan is related to oil, but Afghanistan itself DOES have a definite relation to oil supplies.

  No it wasn't - it was specifically the strategy spouted by Bush and Co about its disgraceful blitz of Baghdad.
  
  Afghanistan was the "Oh shit, they are tough little buggers" campaign where cocky Bush and Co convinced you that they could do what the British never could, and the Russians never could - and now the US can't either.

  I stand corrected on the Shock and Awe part and Chris was right.
  
  As for the rest, I know it's all an anti-american rant so...whatever.
  
  As for Afghanistan, it's now Obama's war to lose.

  Not an anti-American rant - it is an anti-war rant. Claiming that anyone who opposes war is anti-American is just an admission that the US is about the only country creating wars around the world at the moment.
  
  And you find it funny that Obama has inherited the debacle in Afghanistan - maybe your partisan politics has taken you a little too far from decency.

  Oh please, it's a smear, stop trying to cover it up. If you're really anti-war you wouldn't have approached it in that snide way because being against war is a serious thing. But you're happy to make the Bush co remarks because face it, you're bigoted towards Americans.
  
  And yeah I do find it funny that Barack is in a pickle, especially when he was campaigning that he was going to take the troops out in a year. Reality hit him in the face and he realizes it's a lot harder than he thought. I can always laugh at a fool.

  No I am not - I am anti-war mongering and Bush fits that description, recent US history makes the US fit that description. You can't tell the difference because your ridiculous partisan politics has lost all credibility.
  
  The issue of Obama trying to get so many aggressive fools in positions of authority - and their foolish supporters around the country - to allow him to fulfil his campaign promise is one of deep shame to the religious conservative block and the neocons. Finding anything funny about your soldiers and their innocent civilians dying every day is your own shame.

  It is only partisan to you because you don't hold the same view and your intolerance is why you start calling the other side names and invalidates your position. I am laughing at Obama not at our military but that seems to escape you. In addition, you really don't find anything positive about America or Americans so it is very obvious. You exhibit the tactical leftist strategies and just smear everybody because you don't have people agreeing with you. Grow up.
