The general US code heading for this area is listed under Treason, and the concept of giving aid and confort to the enemy. I am not arguing that the example mentioned meets that criteria; perhaps Sean Penn's behaviors comes closer.

Ah. But we aren't in a state of declared war. Notice that folks spying for the USSR during the Cold War didn't get popped for treason.

Try again.

Good thing you posted that sentence.

"Closer" only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear bombs. We were not in a state of declared war with Iraq at the time of Sean Penn's visit.
