William F. Buckley, whom many consider to be the founder of the modern American conservative movement, recently wrote that the American adventure in Iraq is a failure. He's called for troops to be withdrawn from the country. Glenn Greenwald discusses the reasons for and against hanging Buckley for treason. ...
According to Greenwald:This is a real question: by the standards which have become commonplace among Bush followers, isn’t Bill Buckley clearly a traitor? We are (of course) in the middle of a war. That war (in Iraq) is the central front in another war we're fighting (the War on Terror, a/k/a the War of Civilizations, World War III, World War IV, the Long War). To surrender in Iraq is -- to use the White House's formulation -- to "surrender to the terrorists." Bill Buckley is clearly on the other side - the side of terrorists. And what a coward he is.
