I read the whole WT article on Saturday... Again, you mix up two different issues here! Mrs Henri Brooks is not DISLOYAL to her country, nor is she a TRAITOR to the US government.
She didn't LIE to her compatriots, that is, she didn't behave like Jewish traitors Jonathan Pollard, John Deutch, Marc Rich, and others who publicly swore allegiance to "their" country while, in reality, they secretly conspired to BETRAY it. Mrs Brooks' attitude towards what she considers a hypocritical protocol (ie the Representatives' pledge) is candid and PUBLIC --it's actually more a political opinion than outright disloyalty. Therefore, Mrs Brooks' case doesn't compare at all with a treason case like Pollard's or (FBI agent) Hanssen's. Mrs Henri Brooks' in-your-face protest didn't HARM the US government/intelligence, nor did it cost American lives. Get the picture?
