Isn’t it a military court that tries espionage and crimes against the security of the United States?

On March 6, 1951 their trial began in New York’s Southern District federal court.

There are differences in the mix.

1. US was not at war with the USSR, so no “treason” charges.
2. The Rosenbergs were both US citizens while Assange is not.

What venue (MIL or CIV) is appropriate for espionage charges in regards to a non-Citizen of the US?
