Nixon and Kissinger, for electoral purposes, secretly scuttled LBJ's attempt in 1968 to start Vietnam War peace talks with the North Vietnamese. Nixon, of course, went on to win the election based on a campaign that one antiwar group at the time characterized as "a secret plan to end an undeclared war, backed by a silent majority." Of course, we all know how that went. Isn't subverting the diplomatic efforts of one's own government to end a war treasonous? Just wondering...
