Perhaps, but that requires some pretty liberal stertching of the definition of "purposely aiding". I mean, if that's treason, than so is the many times we've all posted about how easy it is to get through Disneyland bag checks with knives in our pockets. Heck, that's worse as we provide a specific method for our enemies to defeat security.

What is wrong with urging anything anyway?

What's wrong is that it continues the implication that "you're either for us or against us." Either you simply take for granted that our government is doing the right thing, don't question it, waive your flag, and cheer 'em on...or you're trying to undermine America. I'm insulted by that attitude, and insulted that our leader has it.
