[Vision2020] Why is this not treason?

[Tony]

Oh Tom, you have just kissed off the last shred of your credibility.  Do you really think that there is nothing untoward about Sandy Berger's deliberate theft of documents from the national archives?  What were in these documents that was so potentially damning to his masters?  How would you respond if Condoleza Rice had been caught stuffing documents under her skirt?  You'd howl for Bush's head.

My God man, have you no shame?

  Let me see if I have this right.

   

  One of Clinton's chief aids inadvertently walks out of the Library of Congress with a photocopy of a recently declassified document (last year or so) and people want him brought up on criminal charges.

   

  One of our government's primary contractors admits to sending highly classified documents overseas is penalized $100 million, half of which will be re-compensated back to the contractor through an arrangement made by one of the non-fired US Attorneys in agreement on yet another contract.

   

  Is that right?

  Because . . . I don't know . . . we've re-defined "treason" as "not doing what Cheney and Bush, et al, say we should do to support the troops"?  And "asking hard questions of the incompetents in office," as well as "buying Dixie Chicks CDs."

  This is certainly an outrage, very likely treasonous, and won't be prosecuted as such because it's business, and business is the elixir of the right.

  Why are not the acts described below treason?  Why have not the responsible parties been tried for treason?  Instead the company has been reward with a new contract with $50 of the $100 million applied in payment of that contract.

   

  Perhaps all you V 2020 clear-headed Bush Administration Apologist can explain?

  Defense contractor admits sending classified materials overseas, will pay $100 million penalty
  WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The leading manufacturer of night vision gear for the Defense Department has admitted sending classified materials overseas and will pay a $100 million penalty, according to federal prosecutors, who say the actions of ITT Corp. have jeopardized the security of U.S. soldiers.
  ITT, based in Roanoke, Va., exported classified or sensitive technical data to China, Singapore and Britain without having obtained authorization from the United States, prosecutors said.
  The conviction is the first involving a major defense contractor violating the Arms Export Control Act, prosecutors said.
  Saying that American soldiers are "the principal victims of ITT's crimes," U.S. Attorney John Brownlee said he has structured the $100 million penalty so that half of the money is spent by ITT to develop a next-generation night vision system and "ensure that our soldiers have the best night vision equipment in the world." --From CNN Producer Mike M. Ahlers (Posted 12:36 p.m.)
