US Code. Title 18. Chapter 115. Sec. 2384. Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

LawyerRon,
Is the above the pertinent statute on sedition? If so, who would be his co-conspirator? Is Afghanistan “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States”?

What would be his connection to the death of the CIA agent? Walker was apparently intent on hunkering down and saving his own skin while other Taliban tried to escape, a duty of POW’s. I understand that at the first opportunity he declared his nationality and “gave himself up” to agents of the US. As SARGE said: “It may not have been exactly easy to walk away.”
