ToolMangler,

You seem to be stuck on the classical meaning of the word, and not the new and "improved" news-speak definition.

Feely, try this on for size,

Link: definition.

Link = connecting element; a tie or bond: nothing more, nothing less.

Yes its called treason
Law still there but Libs are afraid to use it due to 90% of them being guilty themselves. For a Public Servant elected officals to make statements against the US. is punishable. Im still waiting for someone to show some backbone and charge Hillery Read and Poloski if it ever gets in a courtroom the least they will be found guilty of is sadition

three-o-six,

Re: "Boy! You had better not be here in the US -- I just reported you comments to the FBI and the CIA."

Are you threatening me?

If the CIA and FBI clowns have nothing better to do than to harass me for no good reason, then we are even worse off than I had previously thought.

People who do these things should be EXECUTED as an example. If you sign up for a classified job, and you leak classified information, then your sentence should be life without parole or death. Half these countries wouldn''t even have our technology if it weren''t for these sympathizers. Call them what you will, but they are scum and should be treated as such.

ToolMangler,

Re: "Me too, Define ''link''

As used routinely by Western Corporate media outlets, the word "linked" appears to mean unsupportable BS and inflamitory nonsense.

Wouldn''t her acts be considered treasonous, especially in this administration''s vernacular? After are we ARE waging a War on Terror and Hamas has the label: Enemy.

I read as many as I can, including Asian, Mid east and others. I don''t take any one news sources output as the sole truth for anything, at the same time I don''t slam a source simply because I have disagreed with it in the past like you do CBS. No I am not a CBS lover either. you are one of those that I see as throwing the baby out with the bath water. correct me if I am wrong.

ToolMangler,

Re: "That will earn her jail time by itself."

Or, had the spying been done on the behalf of Israel, she could have earned a pardon and a medal.

Re: "Her admission is/will be a link that she made herself."

My point is that words like "linked" and "believed", should be reserved for empty and false claims, rather than claims that are supported. If we stray from that standard, the reader may become confused.

If she admits to these offenses, then she has "admitted" her guilt, which is clear, while being "linked" means nothing, and generally indicates baseless propaganda.

I am simply asking for consistency.

ToolMangler,

Re: "So I take it that you only trust Al Jazeera?"

Al-Jazeera had had some good articles, but I am usually able to gleen useful information from almost any source, based on information that I have been able to confirm on my own.

How about you?

So passing information is not spying OK I will bite what is it besides passing information to the enemy. Is she related to a politician.

She apparently took it on herself to devulge priviledged intelligence to a sympathizer of a terrrorist faction. That will earn her jail time by itself.

At any rate, Hezbullah fighters in Lebanon were elevated to the status of "freedom fighters" last summer, after defending the people of Lebanon from the criminal Israeli war of aggression against them, during a period when nobody else would stand up against Israeli war crimes and atrocoties.

Hezbullah members are also about the only organization in that country that has helped the people of Lebanon rebuild. They can hardly be considered a "terrorist" organization, as compared to the Israeli leaders or the Bush regime. Not even close.

Let''s see if she is treated as harshly as Jonathan Pollard. He has been in jail for many, many years---and what he did was pass information to an allie---Israel.
Hezbollah is directly responsible for being Iran''s proxy, and for killing counless American civilians and soldiers.
Sometimes I think that the "enemy within" our CIA, FBI and State Departments are every bit as hostile as our open enemies.

If it is true, that this woman will voluntarily admit guilt to this, and she hasn''t been tortured into her confession, then it is not correct to say that she was "linked" to these activities.

The word "linked" should be preserved for CBS writers to use in bolstering claims for which they have no other support, such as "linked" to "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq", or weapons and support which have been "linked" to Iran.

If CBS and other Corporate controlled media outlets start using the word "linked" for claims that have some factual basis, it is likely to further confuse the reader.

CBS and other Corporate mouthpieces should reserve the words "linked" and "believed", for the unsupported nonsense that they relentlessly present to the public as fact.
