    Unlike most, I actually hid under my fucking desk in elementary school as a drill, preparing for nuclear war involving the commies.

    It was all horseshit then and it's horseshit now.

    The American people were played by the government to fund a whole lot of useless crap and to institute fucked up policies.

    This is the patriotism card, very similar to the national security one.

    You can say your goddam pledge of allegiance three times a day, but I know the difference between bullshit and wild honey.

    Even if WikiLeaks took up arms and declared war on America, it can't be treason.

    Treason is an act of a United States citizen declaring war on the United States.

    WikiLeaks is not American.

    Go look at the Civil War.

    When Japan declared war on the United States, we did not charge them and try them for treason.

    How's this?

    U.S. Constitution

    Article III

    Section 3.

    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.

    "Treason," is not the word you're looking for.

    It has two components that do not apply:

    1.) No United States citizen has declared war on the United States.

    The last time that happened was the Civil War.

    2.) The United States has no list of enemies.

    The last time that happened was WWII.

    *The United States has, at times, considered a list of enemies, but the idea fell through because of the complications that arise in that it would nullify many treaties that the United States has with other countries.
