Handbook for the Sellout: Written by Al Gore, with a special Forward by Cindy Sheehan

Today it has been reported across on Fox News and across the blogsphere that Al Gore "slanderd" and "sold out" the United States while speaking in Saudi Arabia over the weekend at an economics confrence. While speaking, Gore talked of how after 9/11, "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."

This is crazy. Why do high peofile people who dissent against America feel they have to do so on foreign soil? Probably because they don't have the gumption to do so at home, as they would surely be exposed as a liar. This is much like Cindy Sheehan's actions down in South America along side Hugo Chavez a few weeks ago, but what's worse is that this comes from a former Vice President of the United States!

As Capitan's Quarters did, I ask the same:

"I'm stunned almost to speechlessness. We held mass roundups of Arabs? When? Where? What exactly were the "unforgivable" conditions of which Gore speaks? And as far as the visas go, when exactly did Saudis have a right to enter the United States at whim without any consideration of security? Perhaps the former VP has forgotten, but most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis."

I wonder how many will buy Al and Cindy's new "book"...
