The constitution is clear. A person who associates themselves
with al Qaeda, an avowed enemy, by giving aid or comfort to them commits terrorist
act against citizens of the United States have committed treason. If that
person is a citizen of the Untied States and he or she commits a terrorist act
against a fellow citizen, they also commit an act of treason against the United
States. There is no special compensation accorded to citizen verses a non-citizen.
In this context and in this troubled time, it is important, that we accept the
idea that our problem with al Qaeda is a ‘war’.
The constitution of the United States:
Article III, Section 3
(1):Treason against the United
States, shall consist only of 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 over Act, or an Confession
in open Court.
(2)The congress shall have the power to
declare the punishment. . .
