re: answer the question

First, your premise is inaccurate. I do not regard all anti-war people as traitors, or even anti-American.

As for treason, those who specifically call for our military to desert, or kill their officers would almost certainly have been considered treasonous in any other war in our history, but you'd have to talk to a lawyer about that. I have no idea where the line is any more.

Second, groups like A.N.S.W.E.R. are strongly anti-American and don't even try to hide it. These are the organizers of at least two major protests last week. This does not make all the protesters anti-American, but pretending that the motives of the organizers are irrelevant is naive.

Third, anyone who rejoices in the loss of the World Trade Center may not be treasonous, although "aid and comfort to the enemy" may apply, but he is certainly a piece of shit.
