On the other hand, she's not someone who was ever in military service. Unless there's proof that she actually fired a weapon at an American or participated in illegally arming or supplying an enemy, I don't really see what crime she committed, besides the crime of horribly bad taste and stupidity. I thought freedom to travel and speak where one pleases was one of fundamentally American rights, and I did not think that American citizens who are not in military service have any obligation to prohibit themselves from traveling wherever they like and associating with whomever they want. Last I checked, being an idiot on camera does not constitute an act of armed aggression. And if it does, why aren't Romney and Cheney and co. not in prison for being buddy-buddy with Saddam?
