If he ordered the bombing of the US Liberty then I think that he should've been.
As long as there is a single executive over the whole nation, there will be imperialism and corruption. The Executive Branch is a corrupt institution.
Bush should be tried for Treason too, if he signed off on the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
James K Polk and FDR were also imperial treasonous Executives who sacrificed American blood so that they would have an excuse to massacre non-Americans.
The most ironic thing is that the Executive, the one who is the most treasonous bastard of all, is the one who gets to execute people for being against the State, in the name of treason. Lincoln, for example, considered it treason to not obey the State, but it was in fact he who was the traitor since he waged war against the United States ("United States" meaning "we the people").
Do you think treason should be defined as going against the wishes of a tyrannical govt or should it be defined as waging war against the people?
