A tangent discussion but I agree.
I just wonder, even with insurance money, how these guys did it. They were Privates. The four of them combined don't make $87,000 a year.

This is CLEARLY Treason and as such is punishable by firing squad. I volunteer to be on the firing line when these POS get convicted.

This is not treason. Treason is clearly defined in Article III. It is the only crime defined in the Constitution. They allegedly comitted two murders (maybe three depending on state law), conspiracy to commit murder and several other less serious crimes, but not treason.

Actually what they were plotting to do is considered High Treason, in fact.
They were military with plans to assassinate the Commander in Chief.
From Wikipedia:
In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's sovereign or nation. Historically, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife. Treason against the king was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petty treason. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.

I see...
I was thinking there was some conspiracy to commit treason sort of thing.
Being convicted of what they are charged with is a decent alternative though.

The story sound like a fable. People in the media already said months ago from their NSA connections that Obama would stage his own assassination attempt to gain public support. I chuckled when I saw this article. These guys are so predictable to a awake person.
