<< However, since treason requires an "overt act" against the United States, and at least two witnesses must testify to said act, I doubt Walker will come to trial for treason.
john >> Article III Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted. I think Walker fits the second part of treason. He has been quoted as saying he had no idea what was going on, he only joined the Taliban because it was 'a pure Islamic State", but he also said he was glad of the terrorist's attacks. Kevin
