Yes, he is CIA trained becuase he was once very useful in Middle Eastern politics. Of course we also helped Sadam get into power.

It's very simple....if you (not your parents or grandparents) betray the country by giving aid and comfort to the enemy, you are a traitor.
Joe Kennedy was both a bootlegger and a Nazi supporter. You'll notice that I didn't include JFK/RFK in my list. Why? Because they can't be held responsible for the actions of others, only for their OWN actions, and they didn't give aid and comfort to our enemies.

Then grandpa Bush is guilty of treason. Actually anyone who has ever been to an anti-war protest is a traiter (as they are aiding whoever we are waring against). That would make me a traiter like 20 times over.
That is one of those open ended rules intended to make up for a rule that might not exist yet about treason. It is not a 'send opposition to jail free pass'. The right to speak freely is the right of every American (and also for those from countries with the same right, of course). Jane Fonda was well within her rights to propogandize on behalf of tyhe N. Vietnamese government, declair that the American POWs were being treated fairly, and calling the POWs liars for saying they were tortured. She may have been wrong to do that morally, but legally, she was well within her rights. The same freedom of speech that allows me to call Michael Moore the worst beanbag ever allows Jane Fonda to critisize the government. Jane Fonda isn't a traitor. She enjoys the same freedoms that you enjoy when you errounously call people traitors.
