Nancy Pelosi: Guilty of a felony?

The "drive-by media" hasn't covered this so much, but the conservative media is screaming about it. I thought about this for a while, and I just don't get it.

• We have NO diplomatic relations with Syria, therefore there are no US government officials who are allowed to speak with any Syrian government official UNLESS given specific instructions to do so by the President of the United States.
• Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) went to Syria and spoke with Syrian officials, supposedly, in her words, "saying [to them] the same thing the president has been saying." There have been numerous pictures and media stories detailing Ms. Pelosi's trip and the Syrian officials she spoke to.
• According to what I read, the Logan Act, "forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years."

Diplomatic relations with Syria were dissolved for a reason; at the very least, Syria must be categorized as a nation we do not get along with. Perhaps an adversary. Perhaps, maybe, a safe harbor for terrorists and WMDs, etc. ANYWAY...it seems to me that anyone going to a country we have no diplomatic relations with and talking with their leader should have also been sent there ONLY at the request and instruction of the President of the United States.

I am inclined to think Ms. Pelosi is in violation of the Logan Act and is therefore guilty of a felony. As such, I think she, at the very least, should step down as Speaker of the House, and in reality, should resign from the House of Representatives altogether.

Part of me wondered if perhaps Bush had sent her; however, part of me wonders if this isn't a blatant afront to the policies of the President, and this is Nancy's way of saying, "Ha. I'm going to talk to the Syrians anyway, you stooge, and there's nothing you can do about it!" They way i got it figured, if Tom DeLay had to leave simply because of trumped up charges by a Democrat political hack, then Pelosi should most definitely leave office because of her obvious felony.

Somehow, I have a feeling if the Attorney General filed charges against her, the MSM would categorize it as a political maneuver and continue their assault on the Bush administration. If I were GWB, I would have her indicted tomorrow. Whether you agree with the Pres. or not, you don't go to foreign governments without permission and undermind the US government. Kerry shouldn't have done it. Ted Kennedy shouldn't have done it. And Pelosi shouldn't have done it. I still say this borders on treason.
