69. Violations of the Constitution are not by themselves treason.

PNAC is certainly not an organization dedicated to the destruction of America. Rather, it is emphatically an organization dedicated to (by its own admission, down to its very name) eternal American hegemony. Committing crimes in furthering this goal is indeed criminal and impeachable, but is not treasonous.

Aid and comfort to foreign interests and groups, historically, must be material and given in explicit understanding that they will be used towards the overthrow or defeat of America. Neither are the case with Richard Cheney.

The name which may be given to the tomes of crimes he has committed is this: Criminal. "Treasonous" does not mean "very, very criminal."
