If they were giving actual aid (money, information...or knowingly meeting with groups who do) then yes. However the power to prosectute people for mere speech and nothing else is not a power I'm willing to give the goverment.

You shouldn't have written that.

You are under arrest for Felony Federal Power-Limiting in the Third Degree.

Treason is defined in the constitution.

Providing "aid and comfort" (not defined) to the enemy in a time of war.

What is comfort?

As I discussed with another FReeper on another thread, Axis Sally was convicted of treason for a WWII broadcast of a fictional radio drama. She was an American born Nazi broadcaster from Germany. She passed herself off as a Red Cross nurse when she interviewed injured prisoners of war (and misused those soldier's responses). She was not convicted of treason for being a Nazi.

Michael Moore's 2nd unit crew (he didn't go to Iraq) interviewed soldiers under false pretense. Some that appeared in his film say just this in FahrenHYPE 911.

Propagandist can be an act of treason.

The North Vietnamese certainly credited John Kerry with helping them to win the Vietnam war.

What is applicable to someone who gives inspiration and moral support? Code Pink gave money, didn't they? They support her, as well. What am I missing? : (
