History of Treason: Adam Gadahn, Aldrich Ames?
Q. The news organizations are saying the recent charge of treason against American Adam Yedihe Gadahn is the first since World War Two. I thought Aldrich Ames was charged with and convicted of treason. Which is true? Any other details would be interesting as well.

Was General Lee a traitor who deserves the same regard as Aldrich Ames?
Q. And aren't those who openly praise him equivalent to radical Islamists held up in Mosques preaching hate and death to other Americans because of their narrow idealism? If not, then what is the difference? Could someone point me in the direction of a law or Constitutional provision that legally "allowed" the South to cede? Texas can do it, I know that.

There were specific amendments to the constitution and Acts of Congress to deal with repatriating the traitors rather than killing them outright. Amendment 14 Section 3 speaks to one of them.

Q. The risks of espionage vary. A spy breaking the host country's laws may be deported, imprisoned, or even executed. A spy breaking his/her own country's laws can be imprisoned for espionage or/and treason, or even executed, as the Rosenbergs were. For example, when Aldrich Ames handed a stack of dossiers of CIA agents in the Eastern Bloc to his KGB-officer "handler," the KGB "rolled up" several networks, and at least ten people were secretly shot. When Ames was arrested by the FBI, he faced life in prison; his contact, who had diplomatic immunity, was declared persona non grata and taken to the airport. Ames's wife was threatened with life imprisonment if her husband did not cooperate; he did, and she was given a five-year sentence. Hugh… [cont.]

A. 1. It would be harder to travel into and out of other countries without intense scrutiny. 2. The government would lose access to a lot of good intelligence, meaning that it conducts foreign and military policy in an even more boneheaded fashion than usual. 3. I have a slightly better chance of getting a job, as the CIA will snatch more talented people out of the employment pool to replace agents they lost.
