Jay Rockefeller: Traitor?
Could be.
Earlier today I posted some comments from Senator Rockefeller, among them this:
I didn't pick up on the significance of this statement, but Captain Ed Morrissey did:
Readers over at Captain's Quarters are calling for prosecution under the Logan Act. That makes sense, but even from a purely moral/ethical standpoint what Rockefeller did is dead wrong.
I, for one, hope he is called out on this one.
Earlier today I posted some comments from Senator Rockefeller, among them this:
...this question is asked a thousand times and I’ll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq – that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.
I didn't pick up on the significance of this statement, but Captain Ed Morrissey did:
Now, what the hell was Rockefeller doing revealing his analysis of American foreign policy and the direction of war strategy to Bashar Assad??
If this is true, Rockefeller should get ejected from the Senate and possibly stand trial for treason. In 2002, we were at war against Islamofascist terrorists, and Syria has long been listed by the US State Department as a terrorist-supporting state. What Rockefeller admitted was conspiring with the enemy during a state of war -- and he should be held accountable, especially considering his admission of the act on national television.
Readers over at Captain's Quarters are calling for prosecution under the Logan Act. That makes sense, but even from a purely moral/ethical standpoint what Rockefeller did is dead wrong.
I, for one, hope he is called out on this one.
