>what he did was the textbook definition of treason
But what exactly did he do? The Washington Post story only says he was visiting his relatives, which doesn't sound treasonous on the face of it.
- psykotic 15y agoThe story has been around for a few weeks. As far as I know, his exact role at Kuma has not been publicly confirmed. But everything I've read indicates that he was hired for his military background and knowledge of Iran and Farsi to work on DoD-sponsored projects at Kuma Reality Games. That only make sense if it was for propaganda video games aimed at Iranians. Kuma previously made an episode of its Kuma/War first-person shooter based on a what-if scenario of the US invading Iran. All this does not in itself prove that he did anything treasonous, but it gives Iran good reason to believe that he did (and they no doubt have more information than we do), so in either case he's reckless for returning to Iran.

Or if it was for propaganda video games aimed at Americans who want something a little more authentic in their cultural set dressing and battle chatter. Or it was for training material for the DoD who wanted more-accurate cultural set dressing and battle chatter.
