in the second link about our intelligence and who interpreted what how, but I can't find the treason reference.
So who was accused of treason? or if you are referring to your reaction to the article, who are you accusing of treason?
I'm assuming the treason vs sex question was raised by the second link.

strictly my opinion. When somebody takes us into war by false accusation. That is treacherious and IMO treason
I guess I was wondering if you were referrig to one person or a entire group.
Normally if I had to guess, I'd guess you meant Bush, but the article as a lot about Colin Powell, then moved on to discuss the intelligence agency and the contacts between the agency and Powell. So I wasn't sure who the treason was directed at, and still not absolutely clear.

Legal definition of Treason
Treason. A breach of allegiance to one's government, usually committed through levying war against such government or by giving aid or comfort to the enemy. The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance; or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power. Treason consists of two elements: adherence to the enemy, and rendering him aid and comfort. Cramer v. U. S., U.S.N.Y., 325 U.S. l, 65 S.Ct. 918, 9327 89 L.Ed. 1441. See 18 U.S.C.A.
