How about selling weapons to the enemy?
Oliver North was convicted and served time in prison for using his position as deputy director of the National Security Agency to illegally sell weapons to Iran and then send the money to a Latin American terrorist group.
Yet he currently hosts a "patriotic" television program on Fox News called "War Stories", he regularly appears on the Hannity & Colmes program where Hannity often calls him a patriot, he regularly appears at Sean Hannity's "freedom" concerts, and he wrote a book last year called "American Heroes".
Which is a worse case of treason? A government agent illegally selling weapons to a country we are enemies with so that he can fund terrorism in a foreign country, or an actress publicly stating that she supports the other side in an unpopular and controversal war?
Why is it that nobody ever makes a big stink about his acts of treason?
