Treason? For passing a resolution condemning a bombing campaign? Since when was freedom of expression treason?

Treason is the aiding and abetting of the enemy. Not expressing disagreement with the policy or actions of the central government.

Is it treason to protest the central governments treatment of civilians at Ruby Ridge and Waco? How about the bombing in Kosovo, which I protested every day of that fiasco? Do you think that just because the President is a Republican he is ALWAYS right?

(humor) "Perhaps ve should check your papers, VERRY carefully to make sure you are who you say you are, comrade." (/humor)

OK, I'll buy your point that it isn't ACTUALLY treason.

That being said, I'll also buy my goods and services elsewhere.

I prefer to deal with people who support my government's current efforts at self defence.

"Freedom of expression" is not unlimited.
One way the rest of us can 'express' ourselves is by boycotting *ssholes like the Berkeley City Council and the city they claim to represent.

Actually the difference between bombing Yugoslavia, a country that in no way attacked the US and bombing terrorists and terror sponsors who were responsible for thousands of American dead on US soil is self evident in my opinion. I agree with you re. Kosovo but you have to remember that we were attacking and not being attacked. I might agree with you re. the definition of treason but I think we might have a case for the Berkley City Council and sedition.
