LOS ANGELES -- The charge of treason was used for the first time in the United States' war on terrorism Wednesday, filed against a California man who appeared in propaganda videos for al-Qaida.

Adam Yehiye Gadahn, 28, could be sentenced to death if convicted of the charge, which has been used only a few dozen times in U.S. history and not at all since the World War II era.

He also was indicted on a charge of providing material support to terrorists.

Gadahn ''knowingly adhered to an enemy of the United States, namely, al-Qaida, and gave al-Qaida aid and comfort ... with intent to betray the United States,'' according to the indictment. :: Californian accused of treason



What about Jane Fonda? Why wasn't she indicted for treason? She broadcasted propaganda to our troops from North Viet Nam. She was photographed on an anti-aircraft gun. If that isn't giving "aid and comfort ... with intent to betray the United States," I don't know what is.
Both of these scumbags should be arrested, given a fair trial, and executed.
