Can you believe this? What kind of patriot goes to the enemy and "consuls" them??
Excerpt from the AP story:
Penn said it would "suit us all" if Iraq fully disclosed any banned weapons it still has, but questioned whether U.S. national security concerns about this justified war.
Asked if his three-day trip to Baghdad might expose him to charges of lack of patriotism, Penn said he would be happy to debate anyone who made such accusations.

"I believe, however I vote and whatever my perspective, that I do deserve the government I get," he said.
"And if there's going to be blood on my hands, I'm determined that it's not going to be invisible. That blood is not just Iraqi blood, it's the blood of American soldiers."
Unreal...
