As Vet who served under him while he was the Secretary of the Army I could see no real reason to question his actions or his motives. In fact I cant recall ever seeing him doing anything questionable or in any way harmful to service men and women in any branch. That’s not to say I liked him. I didn’t much care for his style. Since then hes become involved with some of the biggest companies that are involved defense contracting. One who works in a field like that and then suddenly finds themselves involved in a national conflict as a servant of the people can not avoid questions of impropriety.

Amazing how so many people don't understand that disclosing classified information is called treason and it doesn't matter if it's a citizen or a politician. But it is far worse when it's the 2nd in power in this country that does it.
I'm not really sure why you're tying it to supporting the troops though.

Just because I'm a Conservative doesn't mean I support Cheney. Even if I did, who cares? I have the right to support whomever I want. This is America. Besides, I have 3 family members serving in Iraq and one in Afghanistan right now, so don't tell me about support for the troops.

Richard Armitage allegedly leaked the name, what does that have to do with supporting the Troops. It has nothing to do with treason and the Vice President.

A better question might be, "Of those of you who profess to 'Support the Troops', how many of you have actually DONE something to support the troops?" Aside from sticking a Made in China decal on the back of your car, that is?
How many of you have just shaken the hand of a GI in an airport?
How many of you have offered up the use of your cell phone to a GI returning from Iraq?
How many of you have volunteered at: The USO, a VA hospital, or a military Family Support Center?
How many of you have had the guts to speak out against an unjust war and the deaths of over 3,000 of our sons and daughters?
How many of you have had the guts to speak out against the folly of diverting the troops to Iraq for a needless death yet leave UBL to run free in Afghanistan or Pakistan where they are TRUE HEROES and HERIOINES for a JUST CAUSE that virtually the entire world supported?
I've done all of the above. Have you done even one??
Stand and be counted, or sit down and just shut up!

Not treason. Know what is treason? Selling nuclear secrets to the Chinese. Now who was guilty of that again? Starts with Bill... ends with Clinton.

Treason is going to the enemy against the office of the president. Treason is telling the enemy we have lost this war. Aiding those who want Americans dead is treason. The entire LEFT is responsible for that.

It's not treason. Check your dictionary instead of your imagination.

Because the right has a certain consistency. Everything Bush and his cronies do is correct even when it isn't. Don't you wish you were so simple-minded?
