text: is questioning the iraq offensive tantamount to treason? all this talk about "troops fighting to protect freedom" doesn't really wash given the sycophantic loyalism that many people appear to have to the government regime's strategies.  are americans so brain-washed that they are self-censoring? it is, in my opinion, the true patriotic duty of every american to question our leaders, voice our objections, and hold our elected representatives accountable. to do none of these things is treason against our country.
