Jefferson did NOT say that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/146858.htm Penn is as ignorant about the military as he is about Jefferson's quotes. Watada deserves 6 years in Leavenworth and I hope he gets it. He is a traitor.

Traitors are people who knowingly lie, cheat and steal from the American people. Traitors are people who commit treason against their own country. The whole Bush family, all of their corrupt rat friends, Dick Cheney and Conney Rice have all commited treason. Try reading some books, you might learn something.

Very willing to bet I have read a few more books and have a good deal more education than you. I have even written two textbooks. Let's see who goes to jail; Watada or the Administration, shall we? You seem to be suffering from Bush derangement syndrome - there's help for that you know, move to Venezuela or Cuba.

FYI: Connie Rice is Condi's cousin, a flaming L.A. liberal and neighborhood social activist. http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/rice.html

Penn is a typical celib! Somehow he thinks he is important and full of wisdom. He has a right to his opinion, we have a right to not support him.

Sean Penn? What a loser. Isn't it telling that all discussions from the left end up with "I hate Bush", "Cheney sucks", "Bush lied", etc., instead of just staying on topic? Some things never change...
