Fair enough, but it was my impression (and correct me if I'm wrong) that the OP was asking what the difference was between 'traitors' then and now.
One of the things that I'd like to know in general is why we think it's a good thing to teach our kids the (to my knowledge untrue) story that the US won its independence because we hid behind rocks and trees and things like smart people, while the British troops all marched in straight lines and conducted themselves honorably. I mean, isn't that what those damn, dirty terr'ists do?
