But, I reiterate, what the Dems are doing is not treason; it just smells a bit like treason..

I can't, for the life of me, see the difference.

"I can't, for the life of me, see the difference."

Nothing in this memo suggests they are going to use classified information against the President. Basically, it says they're going on a fishing expedition, looking for evidence that the administration exaggerated or distorted intelligence claims about Iraq. And, as an earlier poster noted, they can spin it to look like they are working on behalf of the American people to expose lying by the administration. But their real motive, of course, is just to cause trouble for Bush, even if it hinders the effort in Iraq and encourages Saddam's diehards to ever more extreme tactics. But this would never technically qualify as offering "aid and comfort" to the enemy in a legal, prosecutable sense. We can't make traitors out of every critic of the administration's foreign policy.
