He attacked a government building, which is not the same as colluding with the "enemy"... What McVeigh did wasn't treason, that was domestic terrorism.

Well, he bombed a government building, which could've been considered levying war against the U.S.
In general, if there is another available charge (domestic terrorism) that will be used instead of treason.
(I don't think Maybourne committed treason, either, FWIW).

I can't remember the details but his dealings with the Trust surely crossed the line to treason at some point. I mean, he started dealing with the Russians with classified intel.Originally posted by Seaboe Muffinchucker View PostComment

But were the Russians enemies of the U.S. at that point? Was the Trust advocating the overthrow of the government so as to make them enemies of the U.S.?

This was a good episode.
The Tollan were very arrogant, understandably so, but still. Omac could have used some classes on social graces. Narim fell in love at first sight-- I do believe that Carter was shocked by it...and intrigued. I love that we got to see Lya from the Nox again.
Colonel Maybourne had his first appearance. I don't think that he made a good first impression on the team.

What I liked about early Maybourne (as opposed to other military villains) is that while he was a jerk, he really did have good goals. He just wasn't so nice about how he intended to achieve them.

What Seaboe is saying is yes he is an antagonist, Maybourne ultimately does what he does to protect his country. In contrast to Cool Simmons who was a greedy miktaOriginally posted by aretood2Comment

Error:
1. Maybourne gave an order to fire, so the Nox Lya made the Tollans disappear, the chevron 2 and 3 went off as well in the background.
