It became a fashion in America to call fellow citizens as haters and enemies of freedom if they questioned the US foreign policies and its war on Iraq.
That's just talk. That's not the same as an official commission recommending they be put on trial for treason.
Here this chap has betrayed his profession and misused it by working for a foreign entity.
Did he? Or dd he diagnose Pakistan as being sick and determine that ridding the world of OBL an important part to the cure?
He has only made the case of the extremists stronger who are opposed to vaccination.
He's not the person who chose to publicize the alleged phony vaccination stuff.
How would you describe your fellow American doctors, teachers or people in the post office etc who might be working under cover for say Russia, China and Israel?
If they peddle secret information they might be committing espionage. Or maybe he or she is a reporter who receives a gift for publishing a juicy story? These things are not the same as treason, which is strictly defined under America's constitution:
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.
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.
The reason it was strictly defined and limited was because the Americans experienced abuses of treason charges under the British colonial system - the same system Pakistan had inherited and still exists in its people's minds, apparently.
is it ok as long as the guy is a civilian and you will only rage if he is a serviceman under Oath?
Federal Civil servants also swear an oath:
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
