Truly “inappropriate” behavior

You are right, in that Kerry, Kennedy and other could be prosecuted under this statue, but for one thing.

We do not as a nation agree what the "enemy" is. Now most on this site have a good idea of who and what that enemy is, but sadly most people in the US will not admit it. Heck, a large portion believe that the Enemy is Bush, Christians, and Rush Limbaugh in no specific order.

So, until and unless we have a legally declared war (meaning an actual declaration of war from Congress), "Treason" can not be defined, much less prosecuted.

...engaged in intelligence skullduggery, misleading them and the nation in the run-up to the invasion in 2003.

I notice how "THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX" was just a 'catch' phrase of the moment post 911. The common wisdom is now exactly what it was pre 911. Don't disagree, don't offer alternative views, go along, get along, and don't make waves because if you do, you will be considered a manipulative, underhanded war monger!!

We treated Germany and Japan much better than the South was treated.

While all that may be true, he was still right about the media.

Treason can be easily defined. It is making war on the U.S., or aiding those who do, in an overt act that can be testifed to by two people. Whomever the U.S. has declared war on is moot; "enemy" is defined by the actions of those who wage war on us. There are only three questions at issue. 1) Was there an overt attack or attempt to damage or injure the United States? 2) Was a citizen of the U.S. involved in the attack directly, or in direct, overt aide and/or support? 3) Are there at least two witnesses or a confession?

The will to prosecute traitors is a different question. The answer to that is obviously no, or Hanoi Jane would have been serving time instead of videotaping exercise programs.

Filthy treasonous demoRAT bump.

I suppose you would prefer the kind that answers to the gov't?

I can't stand the MSM but it's better than what Hugo Chavez has control of in his country.

This quote, "Congressmen who willfully take actions during war time that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled and hanged."...is completely invented. Lincoln never said it. This “quote” was first attributed to Lincoln by J. Michael Waller in Insight Magazine, in a 2003 article revealingly entitled: Democrats Usher in an Age of Treason. But as Waller himself now admits, the quote attributed to Lincoln is completely fraudulent. Waller wrote in an e-mail to FactCheck.org (h/t William Wolfrum):

The supposed quote in question is not a quote at all, and I never intended it to be construed as one. It was my lead sentence in the article that a copy editor mistakenly turned into a quote by incorrectly inserting quotation marks.

It was Waller, in The Washington Times’ Insight Magazine, urging that anti-war Congressmen be hanged—not Abraham Lincoln.
