I'm quite familiar with the case. I think it's wrong because I don't support the death penalty. Another argument, another time.

Moore is a close call. I'm not sure how that would go down. But Penn and Jane Fonda are, IMHO, guilty of treason beyond a reasonable doubt.

Well, all I can say is that I'm happy the vast majority of America, and the American Administration and Attorney General don't agree with your extremist point of view. You're certainly entitled to it, but I doubt many (more than 10%) agree with it.

I disagree. they were acting in accordance with the NCA. Reagan WAS the NCA. Now, if Kerry had gone and talked with the NVA as part of a sanctioned move by the State Department or other government agency implementing properly formulated foreign policy, that would NOT be treason. But that's not what happened.

As far as I remember, Iran was (and still is) "the enemy". North was selling them arms, illegally, even after they attacked the United States.
THAT is much more treasonous than meeting with foreign representatives in an attempt to support peace talks.
