It’s Treason:Staying Silent on Bush White House Crimes

Richard W. Behan, AlterNet 

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

–Article III, Section 3, United States Constitution

The mainstream Democrats — represented, say, by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden, and Christopher Dodd — have not levied war against the United States. Their treason lies instead in committing the second offense: They adhere to enemies of the country, giving them aid and comfort.

The enemies are President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. Like no other president and vice president in history, these men attacked their country.

It was not our geography George Bush and Richard Cheney invaded. Instead they abandoned and subverted the bedrock institution of our constitutional democracy: the rule of law. By word and deed, Mr. Bush repeatedly and arrogantly sets himself above the law, claiming obedience to be a matter of presidential choice. Mr. Cheney orchestrates, coaches, applauds and iterates.

This cannot stand if the country we know and cherish is to survive. George Bush and Richard Cheney are literally enemies of the state; long before now and by any measure of constitutional justice, they should have been impeached and removed from office.

  1. We need to tell the Democrats and Republicans that they are engaging in a a crime of treason and need to face criminal charges! We must demand that they be arrested and told that they are just as bad as Bush! They are only concerned about themselves and do not want to hear the truth that they are criminals by doing nothing to Impeach Bush!
