Terrorists rejoicing over new Baker report

[CallMeBernard]

Sorry, should have mentioned that I am refering to the Baker report in the context of Iraq, not the whole Israel/ Palestine thing.

Although again, I'm not entirely sure the Baker report reads as a victory for the terrorists- Syria will have to 'verifiably' stop underming the democratic Gov't of Lebanon, and stop supplying arms to Hizbollah & the palestinians. It's not a victory if you've got no more weopens.

Freedom of Speech was given, so that American Citizens can criticize the government without fear of being prosecuted for it. Speaking out against the Government is fine, going to the country of an enemy of ours to try and protect it from invasion is treasonous. Because that person is protecting the interests of our enemy not the US's. Actions are not speech. They never have been. Lately, Freedom of Speech has been transliterated into Freedom of Expression. That is not in the US constitution and is not the case. To engage in an activity for the sole purpose of helping an enemy of the US, by either releasing sensitive information to the public, or using yourself as a shield for the enemy to hide behind is treasonous and you PC nuts need to understand that.

Since when did speech involve in physical activities? I could display my freedom of speech by popping someone in the jaw, and most likely would be charged with assault. Why should it be any different when someone "expresses" their opposition to War by going to the enemy to give aid? While we shouldn't be prosecuted for what we say, unless of course it calls for the murder of someone, we should be prosecuted for the activities we engage in. Actions speak louder than words. Actions must be accounted for.

quote KA: "Are you willing to say that anyone who speaks out against the war is guilty of treason and deserves death?"

No, but once again you are equating speech with physical actions, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Criticize the war all you want, jump up and down, scream, throw temper-tantrums. Cry, whine, pout, whatever, but do it in America. Do not carry your protests into another country and become a physical obstacle to the US government. The line of speech and treason has been crossed when you substitute speech with actions.
