Being a traitor is a very formal affair. He or she can be charged and if found gulity of being a traitor be punished. You with your words do not have that authority, and their is a reason for that. The reason is called, "We are a Country of Laws, not one man's opinion."
You as an individual do not have the power to charge and prosecute and condemn a person. One man's experience put into politiacal words is an other man's right! For example, in the First Amendment to the Constitution, the Amendment grants the right of freedom speech along with free press and free religion. Almost anything a person says is protected by the Constitution of the United States.
Tell that to the next crying neocon.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, like yelling fire in a crowded theater.
Political speech is protected to a great extent also and for good reason, because the powerful often gang up on the weak and attack them, abuse them or neglect them. There are two great examples right now about the ganging up on.
In New Orleans, the 9th Ward is still in ruins, the government has assisted the people in the well off areas but has neglected the people in the poor neighborhoods. This is abuse of power.
The second group is the average Troop in Iraq is riding around on a Humvee like a sitting duck waiting to be blown up. And the power folks in America are not getting those kids out of their.
It was not the young Troop's decision to invade Iraq, and they should not have to pay for power hungrey old men who sent them there.
But, where is the outrage?

Define "detrimental".
If you support things which are in your own best interest but detrimental to your country as a whole, you probably are.
Of course, I think GWB should be tried for treason.

It would depend on the circumstances and the things that are being supported. Giving away Government secrets--yes. Supporting getting money from Lobbyists?--no--just greedy

No. A traitor is someone who betrays their country to an enemy. It makes them unpatriotic, but unless they are giving information or assisting an enemy that person would not be a traitor.

It depends on what the defninition of detrimental is??? It's certainly detrimental to commit your fellow citizens to a an unecessary war in the name of spreading freedom. Is that the kind of detrimental you are referring to....or are you referring to the kind of detrimental practiced by people who express their opinions that the current adventure in Iraq is a misfocus of American resources??
