Just because it’s got a cutesy name like “wikileaks”, doesn’t mean it’s not treason.

Agreed, and I agree with the congressman’s argument.

The difficulty will lie in the definition of “time of war”. We have not formally declared war on anyone in nearly seven decades, although we have been in open military conflict many times. This has been an issue before. I do not know what the case law is now.

At a minimum, espionage charges and go for the maximum sentence. Put the defendant - if convicted - in the general population of the military prison system.

Unless you count Christians and patriotic Americans.
