	Hurst: The Law of Treason: 4

	Joe Conason Reviews Ann Coulter's Treason
		"Treason" displays many of the same mental habits as did "Slander": the obsession with "manly" men, the disparagement of women as weak-willed and whorish, the disturbed attraction to images of violence.
		So replete is "Treason" with falsehoods and distortions, as well as so much plain bullshit, that it may well create a cottage industry of corrective fact-checking, just as "Slander" did last year.
		He's bright, witty, warm-hearted and macho, a sincere farm boy who exposes the treasonous cowardice of the urbane Acheson, Marshall and other "sniffing pantywaists." She seems to regard him as kind of a Jimmy Stewart type, albeit with jowls and five o'clock shadow and a serious drinking problem.

		Paul Weyrich, a prominent conservative religious figure, who attempts to qualify his use of the term somewhat by writing, "In an earlier age, this kind of behavior would be considered treason." Regardless of when he says the term would be used, however, Weyrich is accusing his someone of betraying the United States.
		Terms like "patriotic" and "treason" are powerful words, however, and, as the saying goes, "with great power comes great responsibility." Those who value thoughtful, rational debate should be concerned when these terms are used irresponsibly by those who shape American political discourse.

		I believed that a treason indictment would not only have given the government more leverage in the plea bargaining process, but that it was morally imperative to label Lindh a traitor.
		Although much of the focus of the treason discussion in the last year has been on the "adhering" prong of the crime, in it’s indictment of the Postland Six the Department of Justice has invoked the other prong of the constitutional crime of treason — sort of.
		While Section 2384 stops short of a constitutionally based charge of treason, its use against the Portland Six may represent the government’s movement toward treason indictments in appropriate cases (which this one probably isn’t, because of the difficulty of proving "aid and comfort").

		It seems that "Treason" - and the thought processes that lie behind both it and "Stupid White Men" (both impressive titles regarding their invective content) - may explain why folks' intellectual faculties seem to have become subordinate to their partisan fervor.

		But to be fair, it is evident that her work is not meant to convince doubters or evoke reasoned dialogue; rather, it is obviously written for those who are already true believers in her extreme point of view.
