Susan Lindauer, a former Democratic Party congressional staffer, journalist, and current anti-war activist has been accused of spying for Iraq. The FBI arrested her March 11.
This is just the latest in a pattern of "anti-war activists" being involved in espionage activities for Iraq. British MP George Galloway has been accused of accepting bribes from Saddam Hussein to promote anti-war activities in the UK. Defense attorney and "peace" activist Lynne Stewart has been arrested for transmitting information between her terrorist client and his murderous organization.
...
Perhaps the most damning allegation, and illustrative of the genuine purposes of many of the purported "anti-war activists," is that Lindauer is alleged to be involved with arranging to provide assistance to Iraqi insurgent groups. These same groups are killing American soldiers in Iraq. It is a testimony to how diabolical and ruthless some of the "anti-war" activists are. They are using these casualties to criticize the Bush administration and his policies and call for the troops to return to the US -- all the while contributing to these casualties. (emphasis in original)
If this isn't treason, plain and simple, I don't know what is. There are many examples of this sort of behavior, but we seem reluctant to call it what it is. Why is that? Is it because treason is considered so heinous that we're hesitant to label anyone a traitor without overwhelmingly damning evidence? Is it because treason is considered an antiquated concept in this new age of post-nationalism? Or is it something else?
All I know is this woman, if she is guilty of the charges against here, has comitted treason against the United States and she should be punished accordingly.
