Thanks for the plan. There is merit to it!

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."

OK, count me in. Anyone want to volunteer to be the second witness?

Peters idea of the perfect country:

"Arnett also said "clearly this is a city that is disciplined, the population is responsive to the government's requirements of discipline," CNNs article

I am from behind the Iron Curtain.

Communist Hungary was also a place where we had to be "responsive to to the government's requirements of discipline"

I am digging around in Arnett's past. Guess what pivotal quote in Viet Nam was "heard" by Peter Arnett?

"It became necessary to destroy the town (BanTre) in order to save it."

This quote, which was alledgedly made by an Air Force Major Chester L. Brown to Peter Arnett was one of the most effective bits of anti war propaganda to come out of the Viet Nam conflict.

The problem is, "Major Brown" may not have said it at all, it was probably created out of whole cloth by Peter Arnett even back then!

Here is some source material, go about 80% down the link, it is partially in Vietnamese and partially in English.

We need to track down this "Major Brown" quote, if this was one of traitor Benedict Arnett's first "Big Lies", that will be important to know today. Has Arnett been an America hating mole since the 60s?

I read elsewhere his mentor was an Australian communist and virulent America hating reporter named ?Burchett?, this should also be tracked down.

Listening to Rush further illuminate the CNN-Iraq kiss up relationship, I thought we needed a Peter Arnett memory jog.

I hope lots more reporters speak up about what they saw happening.
