Wouldn't you want to know, if your country was doing this kind of stuff? I would!

There is a border line where morality and decency kicks in and overrides patriotism, I think.

Do you think Solzhenitsyn was a traitor for writing "The Gulag Archipelago" and "Ivan Denisovitj", and clearing off to the USA?

And another example, different, but with a parallel: That officer who tried to kill Hitler? I'd say he was a German patriot.
