Treason? They didn't look through the view finder of an Iraqi Anti aitcraft gun or betray POWS to their masters like Hanoi Jane did. One of them mouthed off about Bush at a concert and said some other stuff I think as well. I hardly equate them with Hanoi Jane and certainly don't call it treason- that cheapons the term.

Treason?
I agree with you. Not treason, but very poor judgment, arrogance and purely unenlightened damage control combined with a total ignorance of and regard for their fan base spelled adios chickees.

It is different than the Hanoi Jane scenario, but strategically just as dangerous. You witnessed how much heat was on W about making the decision.....the internal political heat on Blair was far more intense. He barely survived. The timing on Natalie's part could not have been worse.
