I guess we could start with "gross dereliction of duty," although that's more than one word. Maybe we need to invent a new word for it. How about "patriacide"--the killing of one's own country/countrymen.

". . . the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary." H.L. Mencken, In Defense of Women (1918)
