trea·son Pronunciation Key (trzn)
n.
Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
--------------------
While you are arguing that he didn't wage war (I personally disagree), you can't possible argue that he did not purposely act to aid enemies.
--------------------
Let's move on to Article III --
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
--------------------
Do I really need to define adhering, aid, or comfort?
By his own admission he "provided services as a soldier to the Taliban last year."
He should be put to death according to the Treason Act of 1939 -- he's lucky as hell he was allowed to plea!

Your point is moot. He was never charged with treason. |
