Did Kissinger Commit Treason?

[erpowers]

As some of you already know, I have been reading the book "Grand Expectations". In one of the chapters of the book there is a discussion about the fact that at one point President Johnson tried to bring about some form of peace in Vietnam. Johnson had proposed that the American military would ease it bombing of North Vietnam in an effort to bring the North Vietnamese to the bargaining table in order to end the war. The leader of South Vietnam later announced that he would not engage in other peace talks scheduled to happen in Paris if the Johnson Administration eased the bombing. The author of "Grand Expectations" claims that American politicians, Henry Kissinger and another woman, may have had a hand in pushing the South Vietnamese leader to balk at easing bombing in the North. According to the author Kissinger, who was in Vietnam supposedly working for the Johnson government was playing both sides in order to get a high government position in the Nixon Administration, which seemed as if it was going to win the Presidential election. While in Vietnam Kissinger was giving information about the war and potential negotiations to Nixon. In addition, it is speculated that Kissinger may have told the South Vietnamese leader that if he did not go along with Johnson's deal he would be given a better deal when Nixon won the election. So, if Kissinger was in fact giving information to Nixon during the war did he commit treason?

3. Yes

4. No

Did he wage war against the US? Did he give aid and comfort to the enemy? The answer to each of these is no, so according to The Constitution he did not commit treason.

5. The question is not, "Did he?"

The questions are "How many times?" and "Can we dig up any concrete evidence, or has it all been shredded by now?"

6. I despise that warmonger & it revolts me that he has been used

as an "elder statesman" by the corporate media. The blood on his hands from Vietnam won't wash off, ever.

7. Treason, No...

he has never shifted his loyalties, people just make the mistake of believing he once had an allegiance to the United States...
