Yes Nathanial Hale said this, but he was no traitor to the US.

I think you may be confusing Nathan Hale with Benedict Arnold. Nathan Hale's statue is outside the CIA Building in Langley, VA.

He also said "Give me liberty or give me death."

Ahem.
"It is vain, Sir, to extenuate the matter. The gentlemen may cry, peace, peace! But there is no peace. The war has actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already on the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that the gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me Death!"
(Patrick Henry's speech at the Virginia Convention, Richmond, March 23, 1775)
