Just how far was Senator Jay Rockefeller willing to go, and was it only for partisan gain? This from the Canada Free Press.
Using the definition of treason prescribed by the U.S. Constitution, the following event seems to provide a precise example.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) on the November 14, 2005 edition of "Fox Sunday" divulged
"I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq--that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11."
Senator Rockefeller was at the time of his trip, less than four months after 9/11, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which means he was entrusted with "sensitive secured information" as relates existing intelligence regarding Iraq WMD, ongoing intelligence operations looking into Iraq’s WMD program and America’s national security plans concerning the ongoing threat.
Syria was then and remains today on the State Departments list of terror regimes, clearly defined for some years as an enemy to America itself. But Syria was also a close ally to the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, the very subject of the information Senator Rockefeller chose to share with Hussein’s allies in Syria.
In the weeks that followed Senator Rockefellers’ friendly visit with Syria, CIA operatives began reporting Iraqi convoys traveling across the Syrian border; - a suspected "outsourcing" of Iraq’s WMD, which became the centerpiece of Colin Powell’s case against Iraq before the UN. Those same WMD that would later go missing by the time America entered Iraq 12 months later. (See the entire time-line of events here in Rockefeller’s Treachery by writer Joan Swirsky.)
What were Senator Rockefeller’s "intentions" in his visit with three Arab Middle Eastern states four months after 9/11, carrying with him and divulging "national security information" concerning America’s intelligence and related policy towards Iraq? Was his trip an "overt act", and did his trip include a "violation of trust or allegiance" to the United States? Did the information he carried to known U.S. enemies, known allies of the Hussein regime, provide "aid or comfort" to America’s enemies?
According to the definition of treason spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, and Senator Rockefeller’s own account, there has not been a more clear-cut case of treason in modern history. Yet the so-called American press has been completely silent on the subject, which is of course, a form of "aiding and abetting" in and of itself.
