Examples of treason include assassination of a state figure, fighting against your own nation in a war, assisting enemy combatants, or passing vital government information to the enemy.

He has the blood of our soldiers on his hands because he has allowed them to be killed while he delayed sending more troops, then told the Taliban that he is withdrawing from the field in 2011. Isn't that aiding and abetting and passing government secrets also? Consider:<br /><br />"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.<br />The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."--US Constition, Art.3, Sec.III<br /><br />"Treason is an act of disloyalty or betrayal of trust to your own government. Examples of treason include assassination of a state figure, fighting against your own nation in a war, assisting enemy combatants, or passing vital government information to the enemy. Historically, treason has been severely punished, because an act of treason can destroy a nation. In the modern day, a conviction of treason is accompanied at a minimum by a long jail sentence and a heavy fine, and may merit the death penalty under certain circumstances."--wisegeek.comLaurence L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09233566821343443240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-80594919665276504112010-10-25T13:29:17.233-05:002010-10-25T13:29:17.233-05:00In regards to the talking heads announcing a GOP w...In regards to the talking heads announcing a GOP win, "Pride goes before the fall!"<br /><br />Also, hoping the Republicans don't blow it; doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of crazy.
