Reply #7: The revelations of this week might mean treason was committed

[TayTay]

Treason. I can't believe I am seriously typing that word and applying it to the Administration of a US President. I am not thinking in hyperbole and I am horrified at the revelations that came out regarding the Bush Administration and the use of torture.

It is alleged, by a committee of the US Senate no less, that the Bush Administration tortured people before they had their fake justifications in place. They tortured people in order to get them to provide false information that could be used to justify our war in Iraq. (Last count on icasualties.org states that 4275 Americans have died in Iraq, as of 4/22/09.)

That is treason. No joke. No hyperbole. The prior Administration sent our troops into combat under blatantly false pretenses that the Administration itself worked to bring about.

Treason. Oh my God, what a horrible and sad day for America. We HAVE to have a reckoning. There is no going back from this.
