3. Persecute?
Another great bu$hism

He probably does mean persecute and is avoiding the word PROSECUTE

9. I caught that too!
He also got that weird look on his face as though he sort of thought that he might not have meant to use that word but wasn't sure if he knew the difference between persecuted and prosecuted. I really don't think that he knows the difference, and thinks that being persecuted is the same as being prosecuted. Which I suppose that it is in the Bush World.

11. I have only heard of one other case of someone confusing "persecute" and "prosecute" in that manner.
A friend who was a telemarketer in the early 90s pissed off a rural non-educated woman. She claimed she was going to hunt them down and "persecute"...

Jesus...we need to magnetically staple some testicles to prevent this kind of thing from happening...

13. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
:dunce:

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the dollar.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....

19. Well, the fullest extent of the law isn't very far when you're talking about treason
So it's no wonder nobody went to jail for outing a secret operative in war time.
