Treason = Death

On Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher Ben Affleck ranted that President Bush “probably leaked” Valerie Plame's name. Affleck said, “if he did, you can be hung for that! That's treason!” The actor continued: “You could be killed. That's not a joking around Tom DeLay 'I'll do a year, I bribed the state officials with corporate money.' That's like they shoot you in the battlefield for doing that." Let's just all be glad Affleck isn't in politics ...4/10/06 11:50 AM

This CIA leak thing is beyond out of control. There is no oversight in our nation's capital right now (or Capitol). It's a scary Republican-held little world (and I'm sure it would be just as scary if it were a Democrat-held world... we need some checks and balances people!) I am so.... disillusioned and disgusted with all of this. Apparently Bush can do nothing to get himself fired... nothing to provoke enough indignation. It just makes you want to not care and that's not good.

I realize that the point of this article (that originated from a "liberals are losers" type of news site) is that Affleck's "rant" - nice word choice by the way - is totally ridiculous. Call me crazy, but I think there is something very shady and very likely criminal going on.
