</div>There's a reason that treason and war crimes have no statute of<br>
limitations. It keeps the atrocities alive in the minds of those with<br>
an interest for pursuing the wicked to bring them to stand trial for<br>
their transgressions.<br>
<br>
As despicably corrupt as American politicians are viewed, even those<br>
that can't keep their zipper up and stop lying about it, making<br>
decisions that produce a profit for the decision maker while<br>
endangering the peace and safety of Americans is viewed as treason.<br>
Choosing to engage in a war that is anticipated to be near genocidal<br>
in scope is grounds for being accused of war crimes.<br>
<br>
Every American patriot should be appalled at any elected official or<br>
otherwise representative of this country who would act in such a<br>
reprehensible manner as to draw allegations of wrong doing with the<br>
labels "treason" and "war crimes". Regardless of ones political party<br>
affiliations, the world view of America being led, managed, run, or<br>
supporting of individuals or groups accused of "war crimes" is a<br>
reputation that will take generations to resolve.<br>

While none of this involves the use of Linux in any form, the prior<br>
administration and it's president mandated the use of Microsoft<br>
Exchange and subsequently "lost" emails. Had they used a rationally<br>
designed system, such a Linux based system, the emails may not have<br>
been lost and thus could have been recovered in time to prevent<br>
further erosion of public trust, both domestically and abroad,<br>
<br>
Our new head honcho seems to like open source as a solution to<br>
budgetary woes. That is a clear improvement in policy that is directly<br>
related to the community aspect of ALE.<br>
