At the end of the day, high treason is still punishable by death, even in the United States. Doesn't count for much to me if such death comes in the process of prosecuting a war. Would there have been any handwringing if a B-29 raid had killed Tokyo Rose -- any of the several?

Now if the good cleric were to find himself forcibly ductaped to Jeremiah Wright... he may beg for a quick coup de grâce. Especially if either takes to chewing on the other.
