Please email MTP at

To state your opinion on continued trudging in the campaign ditches.

Tim Russert, moments after stating that the continued replay of the Dean Monday night rant has negative effects, replayed 15 seconds of it.

Now Peter Jennings is arguing that Deserter v. Absence or Gaps of service is a huge leap. Why are they protecting GB?


How about the leap GB took on WMD.

MTP seems to be digging in the ditchs and not providing jounalistic facts.

Email, then consider tuning out.

3. Note to Jennings: Definition of desertion according to U.S. Code..

Bush easily fits the definition of a deserter...

Section 885. Art. 85. Desertion

(a) Any member of the armed forces who -
(1) without authority goes or remains absent from his unit,
organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away
therefrom permanently;
(2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent
to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service; or
(3) without being regularly separated from one of the armed
forces enlists or accepts an appointment in the same or another
one of the armed forces without fully disclosing the fact that he
has not been regularly separated, or enters any foreign armed
service except when authorized by the United States;
is guilty of desertion.
(b) Any commissioned officer of the armed forces who, after
tender of his resignation and before notice of its acceptance,
quits his post or proper duties without leave and with intent to
remain away therefrom permanently is guilty of desertion.
(c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert
shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by
death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but
if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by
such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.

Where is the leap, Jennings?

4. Looks like the media is going to decide who runs against

Bush. They are probably going for 90% media ownership rights. That will be their reward to picking the one person who is least likely to beat Bush (excluding Gephart and Liberman).
