Treason revitalized
Reader comment on item: The End of Treason
Submitted by Douglas Boggs (United States), Aug 16, 2005 at 21:28
Had President Bush asked Congress for a declaration of war against radical Islam in September 2001, the crime of treason would have been reactivated in this country. One can still imagine a future circumstance when a full declaration of war might be in order again.
