Well, my answer still stands.

Maybe more so, since treason can be a lot less damaging than terrorism.

Depends on what treason, of course. Spying for another country for money is never justified, IMO, whatever recourses you may or may not have.

But demands for liberty which are denied or unheard or ignored by a government so vast one can't even know where to start seeking recourse is may, IMO, justify acts that government would deem treasonous.

Like publishing the Pentagon papers.

Question for you: In your opinion, were those young men who fled the US for Canada to avoid service in Vietnam traitors?

Edit: assume they had already received draft notices and were therefore required by law to show up and serve.

Those too young to remember the draft can disregard this question.
