News Accidental Treason by Democratic Congressmen

...It's funny to read the old blogs articles where the Right Wingers now look silly, talking about nukes and al Qaeda, spouting the Bush-Cheney mantra...

You must mean the Bush-Cheney-Tennet-Clinton-Kerry-Edwards-Daschle etc, etc, etc mantra.

No, I don't. I'm talking about the Bush-Cheney-Rice-Tenet mantra of imminent threat.

Implying then that those Senators voted for the war in belief that there was no imminent threat?

What these Senators did was idiotic. It blows my mind that they are both Senators and clueless as to what they were involving themselves in. Unbelievable.

They didn't vote "for the war"; they voted to authorize the President to declare war after it was determined that all diplomatic measures were exhausted. Also, the resolution provided a couple dozen reasons for military action, most of which were not related to an imminent threat. Finally, the President was privy to a lot more intelligence than anyone in Congress, and much of Congress simply swallowed some or most of the propaganda that he was dousing the people with.

If you go about chanting a mantra and I don't disbelieve it, doesn't make it my mantra unless I start chanting it as well.

Oops.

We'll see where this goes, but I expect they will be able to successfully disavow knowledge of the true source of the money, but the fact that they traveled with the spy could prove probematic. Nevertheless, they have exposed themselves as patsies/dupes for our enemy.

"None of the congressional representatives are accused of any wrongdoing, and we have no information whatsoever that any of them were aware of the involvement of the Iraqi Intelligence Service,” Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said.

it sounds like you are claiming these guys were patsies/dupes and are treasonous just for having a political view that was anti-war. i mean unless you are trying to say they were actually aware they were involved with the iraqi intelligence service, then there is nothing to discuss here about the congressmen themselves.
