uhh, Treason against who?

Arnett is a New Zealander

No!

He was orignally a citizen of New Zeeland. He is now a naturalized US citizen, and travels on a US passport. There was a British traitor during World War II called Lord Hawhaw who was of undetermined citizenship, but because he travelled under a valid British passport his broadcasts to Britain from Germany got him charged with treason. He was hanged in 1946.

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001.

Joyce, William

1906–46, British Nazi propagandist, b. Brooklyn, N.Y., called Lord Haw-Haw. Taken to England as a child, Joyce became involved there in the fascist movement. He went to Germany just before the outbreak of World War II and throughout the war broadcast German propaganda in English from Berlin. He was captured by British soldiers in Germany in 1945. Despite his American birth, he was adjudged subject to British jurisdiction because he held a British passport. He was convicted of treason and hanged. 1 See biography by J. A. Cole (1964); R. West, The New Meaning of Treason (rev. ed. 1967). 2

Too bad that WE don't consider it politically correct to prosecute this crime.

Upon hearing of Arnett's comments, I thought immediately of Lord Haw Haw.

I have a tree, do you have any rope?
