My groovy friend Tripp sent me a link to this blog entry and it made me think. This guy has a point. By interfering with our military action, would those human shields be guilty of treason? I am inclined to think so. But I am no expert,,

I don’t know how all of the laws are spelled out, but I’m I’m guessing that the U.S. would not be able to get a treason conviction on these people during an undeclared war action. If war is declared, it’s probably a different story.

I’m assuming few will make it out, so it won’t really matter.

But, if they are traitors, then they aren’t very good martyrs are they? Or maybe no one will care.
