TREASON
March 27, 2008
Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for what appears to be Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California. This during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
The three anti-war Democrats made the trip in October 2002, while the Bush administration was trying to persuade Congress to authorize military action against Iraq. While traveling, they called for a diplomatic solution.
Iraqi intelligence officials allegedly paid for the trip through an intermediary and rewarded Al-Hanooti with 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil.
The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip they took to Iraq.
The Democratic leaders have famously taken on diplomacy beyond their authority. With Pelosi in Syria and anywhere else a guy with a turben will listen. I wonder if Sean Penn got paid, or if he went on his own!
