The U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs is investigating Laura Berg, one of their staffers, for the crime of sedition after Berg wrote a "letter to the editor" in a local Albuquerque paper criticising the Bush Administration.
In her letter to the local paper regarding the Bush Administration's poor handling of hurricane Katrina Berg urged readers to "act forcefully to remove a government administration playing games of smoke and mirrors and vicious deceit."
In a November 9th memorandum written by Mel Hooker, Chief of Human Resource Management Service at the VA, he justifies the investigation by stating that "the Agency is bound by law to investigate and pursue any act which potentially represents sedition."
