I read the cited reference It is extremely vague about actual facts All I can discern is that Kennedy wrote Andropov not the KGB offering public relations advice The specific contents are not mentioned at all This makes me extremely suspicious No sourcing for the treason language was provided it appears that possibly some blog used the term If you care to rewrite it please focus very carefully on the actual facts presented in the source and not their spin or interpretation CNS is quite partisan All I could find was one fact satisfying both WPRS and WPV  That a poli sci prof said Kennedy offered public relations advice to Andropov I think we should wait until the major press have had a go at it and some actual facts memo contents for example are available before spending a lot of energy on it
