The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

Doesn't the neoconservative John Pohderetz (and James Woosley amongst others) refer to the Cold War as World War III?

Since it is no longer a tradition in this country for Congress to declare war, doesn't that suffice to say that in real politic terms, the country was at war and Pollard committed treason?
