Everything she said there would be protected by her freedom of speech, I would think. Just like Natalie Maines had a right to speak out aganist the war, so did Jane.

Now, if she did something to aid the enemy, that could be a different story. I'm not sure what the definition of treason is, exactly (as far as the law is concerned), but I know just visiting a country we are fighting with and speaking out aganist a war wouldn't qualify.

What else did she do?
Article 3 of the Constitution thus provides that treason shall consist only in levying war against the United States or in giving aid and comfort to its enemies.

Considering that a large part of the NV strategy was to fight a tw-front war (one in Vietnam and one with the anti-war folks in the USA), I'd argue that she met the second criteria.
