She deserves the Rachel Corrie fate --- bring out the bulldozers.

[Chuckster]

That's not what you said.

You said "She spied for the enemy during a war"

According to the article, she did not.

That's all.

[xone]

Hang her. Hippie loser.

The one thing FReepers are just waking up to is that the WMD and inspections were a scam on many levels, but mainly they enriched a few goons in the U.N. and a bunch of second-tier world leaders. Keeping the inspection game going didn't really require any weapons.

We know Saddam had them at one time, but he probably sold them and discovered he could maintain power indefinitely without making new ones.

[ValerieUSA]

Yes, the inspections were a scam... buying time. The WMD still exist and will be used if not found.

[solo gringo]

Have you notice how not guilty all the terrorist aids are.But some one keeps blowing up our people and people around the world i say hang them all.

[js1138]

I'm not convinced there are any significant numbers in Iraq.

[ValerieUSA]

I am convinced they were there before the long stall began...

[GeronL]

She had no relationship with Card, they had never even met apparently. I guess every political story should start with the 'fact' that Bush and Kerry are distant, distant, distant cousins.

[GeronL]

One is a significant number if they can use it.

[js1138]

I'm just not convinced that whatever they might have had is still in Iraq.

[GeronL]

Syria? Lebanon?

[js1138]

Why not? I find it really interesting that everyone who visited Iraq said there were no weapons, but no one seemed interested in clearing up the mystery. Too many people profiting personally from bribes and kickbacks.

[Lancey Howard]

This wacky Democrat, Susan Lindauer, is a like a 2000s version of Squeaky Fromme.

[Lancey Howard]

Iran

[GeronL]

I wonder how many other Democrats and journalists are on the take for our enemies?

I think Cheney should crack a joke about opening a commission to investigate Dems and reporters...

"It's not the biggest case out there," one of the sources said. "There's not a lot of money allegedly changing hands.

It doesn't take money to motivate the true believers. Whoever said this should go back to chasing bank robbers.

[ValerieUSA]

Rachel Corrie didn't burn American flags in front of "Palestinian" children for money ... but she would have taken it if offered, I'm sure.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

She could face more than 25 years in prison if convicted.

What? I thought treason was a death sentence.

[ValerieUSA]

yeah, well, since when did thinking get you anywhere?
