Al Gore bashes America in Saudi Arabia

At what point does somebody cross the line from being an outspoken critic of the US government and become guilty of sedition? Oh, I'd say right about HERE:
Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.

"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. "The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."

Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."

"Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," Gore said. "I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."

Al Gore is loudly and publicly condemning our government to the Saudis, the country from which ALL the 911 suicide bombers came from, and the country whose Wahabi based religious fanaticism is the prime mover of the Al Qaida terrorist movement, yet he is not being brought up on criminal charges in America?

I'm sorry, but if this isn't the definition of treason what is? Benedict Arnold was banned from the U.S. for saying much, much less. Gore's charges are the ramblings of a quisling lunatic like Cindy Sheehan. More visas for Saudis? We are abusing poor innocent moslems? Is he serious?

Gore needs to be told he will no longer be permitted to return to this country, and if he does he will be arrested on the spot and tried for high treason.
