Betrayers Betraying

Bush's Politics of Betrayal - The Smirking Chimp: "What do the conviction of Scooter Libby, the revelation that wounded Iraq veterans are receiving poor treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and the firing of eight US attorneys have in common? They're further proof the Bush Administration has betrayed America.

Betrayal is a strong word that has several meanings: One is 'to be unfaithful in guarding, maintaining, or fulfilling.' Closely related is 'to deceive, misguide, or corrupt.' Most of us who oppose the Administration blend these two notions of betrayal: unfaithfulness and deception. Believe George Bush betrayed the oath he swore to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Used the specter of 9/11 to promote his 'wartime' power as commander-in-chief, operate as if Congress and the courts did not matter. . ."
