Treachery-How to Deal with It

I'm reading the book "1776" by David McCullough about Washington's trials and tribulations during the year 1776.  It is an interesting read.  Many passages have caught my attention.  I particularly like this one:

"In Late September, the discovery that the surgeon general of the army and head of the hospital at Cambridge, Dr. Benjamin Church, was a spy, the first American traitor, rocked everyone.
His treachery had been discovered quite by chance.  A mysterious, enciphered letter carried by a young woman of questionable morals had wound up in the hands of a friend of Nathanael Greene, who brought the letter to Greene, who in turn carried it directly to Washington.  The letter was deciphered and Church exposed.
Church who was tried, convicted, and imprisoned, kept insisting he was innocent.  Sent into exile, on a ship bound for the West Indies, he disappeared at sea.  Years later further evidence came to light proving his guilt."

Now, folks, Washington knew how to deal with treachery.  This is the way to deal with treachery of any and all kinds.  When they, the treacherous ones, simply disappear at sea there soon is none left to commit treacherous acts.  Besides, it's very cost effective.  We need a George Washington.
