Last Sunday, former Vice President Al Gore spoke before the Jiddah Economic Forum. He told the mostly Saudi audience that the United States had committed "terrible atrocities" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He stated that Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and detained in "unforgivable conditions." He criticized America's new immigration policy, which more carefully scrutinizes Saudi visas, explaining, "The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake." Finally, he concluded, "There have been terrible abuses, and it's wrong. … I want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."

So Jeddah Economic Forum now = Anti-American Terrorists?easyt65 said:.. Anti-American Terrorists in a country that supports terrorism in order to incite them with lies so they go out and target/try to kill americans and soldiers!
So, it's not actually 'real' treason, it's just easyt65-book treason?easyt65 said:Sorry, your 'innocent' justification still does not get gore a pass for his treason, at least in my book!
tumbleweed said:They already knew how the Arabs were treated. They just wanted us to say it, and Gore played right into their hand. Gore knew just how far to stretch the truth. Playing into the enemys hand yes, treason no.

Now Gore certainly gave AlQaeda aid in there recruiting effort, and comfort in that he let them know for certain what side of the line the American left resides.
Simon W. Moon said:Folks who holler about this being treason should recognize their own complicity in failing to report Mr. Gore to the FBI.
If you genuinely believe it constituted treason, then you have a moral obligation as an American to turn him in. Failure to do so could be construed as aiding and abetting the treasonous person.
If Gore's a traitor, then, perhaps you are too for not reporting this dastardly crime.
Turn Gore in.
(or shut up w/ the hystrionic charges of treason)

It seems to be a growing feeling in people who like this administration that not liking it should be illegal for some reason.
Hey, if you keep throwing **** at the wall, maybe eventually something'll stick.
easyt65 said:Calling our troops Nazis during a time of war basically aids and gives comfort to the enemy.
Calling our troops terrorists during a time of war does the same.
Continually attempting to take down the President, the leader of the war on terror, aids and comforts the enemy!
Taking money to go to a terrorist state to give a speech filleed with lies designed to fuel the enemies fire, to keep them in a hostile state of mind, stoking their desire to wage war upon this nation and killing our citizens and troops DEFINITELY fits in that description!
Slice it any way you want, you Dem-apologist!
