Speak your mind tried for treason??
During WWI two Americans broadcast over Berlin radio about how they opposed the war. At the end of the war they were extradited to the US and tried and convicted of Treason.
During WWII an American known as Tokyo Rose broadcast in Japan her anti American sentiment and encouraged the ALLIED troops to surrender. She her self after the war was extradited and Tried and Convicted of treason. Although she was pardoned a few years later.
Peter Arnette Went on Iraqi TV and spoke his mind as most of you know.
Now they want to try him for Treason.
To be convicted of Treason in the US you need the following.
Have more then one person Witness your actions.
And you had to help the enemy or provide comfort in some way.
The US Senator that wants to Try Peter Arnette says well we have more then 2 witnesses The entire world saw his comments
and the Senator also says Peter Arnette Encouraged the Enemy by saying the Allied Troops were failing their mission. And that encouragement offered comfort to the Iraqi Troops and government.
The Senator also says that New Zealand the birthplace of Peter Arnette says they will extradite him to the US if he attempts to go to NZ.
Peter Arnette although born in NZ is a US Citizen.
Do you think he should be tried for treason?
