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? |
It isn't treason if it is done by and for the gov. North was not embezzling money via the arms sales. You need to learn the definition of treason. A policy with which you disagree is not treasonous.
