Any speech that does not support the campaign against terrorism to be is traitorous.

There seem to be so many on this thread who throw around the word "traitor" that I have to wonder how it got to be so easy to suspend one's critical faculties. Maybe that's not what's really occurring. Maybe most here are simply suspending judgment of the the administration's action until they see something they don't agree with. I would hope at least that is true. But in the meantime there's so much that is unclear about what exactly is going to be considered "terrorism," "support," "harboring," what methods we are going to employ, how much "collateral" damage is too much, where the line would be drawn on hedging our rights or personal liberties for the sake of unity.

All of that has yet to be defined. And if you don't have these questions in your mind then you truly have lost some faculties, or never had them. So anyone who asks these questions now or even tries to answer them out loud if only to be comforting themselves in the dark is not a traitor. Attacking a Muslim because they are Muslim, now that would truly be giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The rest of what you might consider traitorous behavior is simply premature expression of what is most likely to begin soon anyway.
