Grun,
I couldn't care less the political affilliation of the individual that tries to secure the release of our own, provided he's not giving up anything in return. That to me is a very pro-active, pro-American thing to do.
Now if on the other hand, someone was giving up secrets, intel, etc., to make a deal, then I'd say charge him with treason!
Fact: Kerry has neither been charged, nor convicted of treason as no crime has been committed.
But feel free to keep spinning it.

US law forbids private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments wrt to peace treaties and such..

Even the best Kerry's SPIN people can say in defense is that he skirted the boundary of that law.

But I see that doesnt bother you, if anything it just seems to make you like Kerry more...

But hey ABB, right?

So unless someone has been tried and convicted of a crime, a crime hasn't been committed?

Per your general question:

1) We need to see if a crime has in fact been committed.
2) If true, then we need to find the suspect, then if the facts warrant, then...
3) Charges are brought against the suspect and....
4) He is tried in a court of law.
5) Only then if found guilty, is he then guilty of the crime.

But let's unspin this back to if Kerry did in fact negotiate with NV officials. What did he offer? In what way do you know for a fact he compromised National Security? Kerry even waaay back when testified that he in fact did have contact with NV officials. That alone didn't seem to warrant charges being filed against him. He said he was trying to see about the release of American POW's.
Here's my guess: Had this been a Republican that tried it, you'd all be saying "What a wonderful American!"

What criteria do you use when making statements? When someone made charges of Bush being AWOL(http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=1352823), you responded:

Seems you(as well as some others) have one set of criteria for Republicans and another for Democrats as to guilt or innocence.

You can't even compare the two discussions, however I'm not surprised you went back months to find an attempt to change the topic.

First, negotiating with the enemy in a time of war while holding a public office isn't allowed.  It's been shown here it isn't allowed.  If you're arguing it IS allowed, then you need to get someone to help you read.  Second, Kerry ADMITTED to doing this.  Are you saying he's lying?  So, we have established the guidelines for what's allowed and we have a confession.  Why hasn't there been a trial?  Because people don't care.  It was a crappy war, American opinion was in turmoil, and prosecuting protestors was bad form.  If Kerry had negotiated with Hitler during WWII it would have been another story.


Now Bush.  First, it's been shown he missed 6 months of drills.  That isn't AWOL unless he isn't excused.  He doesn't even have to make them up if he is excused.  He just won't get credit for the year if he finishes without enough points.  However, his pay records indicate he DID make them up.    The Democraps have been beating this horse for 4 years and have yet to find a single shred of evidence that he was AWOL.   So, if you're going to say he was AWOL, prove it.  His pay records prove otherwise.

So no, I don't have a different set of guidelines.  I just expect evidence.
