Dissent is one thing, but ANY action taken by any American citien which give aid and comfort to the enemy is still TREASON. If this action or actions cause the death of any American forces, it is TREASON. The left needs to figure out that politics stops at our shorlines, and the only acceptable time for outright dissent is after the conflict is over. Not during the conflict. Just ask the VietCong how much they appreciated Kerry's tesimony in 1971. That was TREASON.
Bullshit and balderdash. Was everybody who opposed our involvement in Kosovo "traitors"?? How about everybody who criticized Clinton while we still had troops in Somalia?? Are they all traitors??
The First Amendment is not part-time, applicable only in times of peace and prosperity. It is part of what makes America different.
Whoever gave Chalabi "highly-classified" information that can get our troops killed, which he then passed on to Iranian Intelligence, THAT'S a traitor.
Kerry's testimony in 1971 was not treason. It was SEDITION, defined as openly advocating the defeat of America or the victory of our enemies. Insofar as I can tell, he should have been prosecuted for contempt of Congress, perjury, lying under oath, sedition, and defamation of American troops.
Kerry apparently committed treason later when he met with Viet Cong or other North Vietnamese operatives.
