Is he a member of Congress?

#2 Can't be a Congresscritter cause you're not suppose to hold two federal offices at the same time [though Senator Goldwater somehow got a waiver no one contested a while back].

#3 Will they have the guts to prosecute on these charges? Will the evidence hold up?

Or, will he be allowed to resign his commission?

#4 Kinda surprising. TF-134 ran a very tight ship, in my experience, so this is quite a disappointment. Law of averages, I suppose.

#5 Hmmm sounds like a great candidate for an open Donkocrat state or congressional seat. During his campaign he can clam he was HOUNDED by the Bushitlers for his outspoken stance against the war.

#8 providing an unmonitored cell phone to detainees.

Kewl, that way all the apprehended suspects could be identified to the enemy in case they got turned.

He'll have a lot of time to think about it in Kansas

"I say we give him ten years in Leavenworth!"

"How about eleven years in Twelveworth?"

"What about five and ten at Woolworth's?"

#9 Doesn't directly aiding the enemy like that fall under the classification of actual Treason. Forget nuances like ~~Laval~~ Reid; would this be an open-and-shut case?
