If this guy went on his personal decision and undermined the US position in the Middle East in the run up to the Iraq war he is a traitor!
So let me see.....you mean if someone say went to Paris around 1971 or so,(and possibly STILL a member of the US military) and met secretly, without permission from the US government, the North Viet Nam delegation to try and undermine the US governments peace talks to end the Viet nam war, wouldn't THAT also qualify as an act of a traitor??
....not that I could imagine any American wanting to lite a fire underneath America's enemies durring a time of war for "political gain" above their country's best interests so that later they could maybe even try to run for POTUS or something....
....or maybe this same person even stand in the well of the US Senate and SLAM the president (durring a time of war AND while he is out of the country to defend himself) to undermine our troops and country just for "political revenge".....
Nah.....nobody could be THAT much of a traitor....
