The framers included their definition of “Treason”, probably thinking that it might be used frequently. Probably because we'd just come through that little spat with England and Arnold was fresh on their minds.

"Probably because we'd just come through that little spat with England and Arnold was fresh on their minds."

Good point bgill. My family was arguing the point at dinner (see what Obama has done for dinner conversation!) and we didn't have time to break out the Federalist Papers, which already have tomato sauce on them. “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid or 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.”

Egypt was not an enemy before Obama’s State Department, with Google’s able assistance, supported Mubarak's replacement with the Muslim Brotherhood's self-described Nazi's. But our State Department and Ron Paul don't believe the Muslim Brotherhood to be an enemy. If only we would agree that Israel has no right to exist, and withdraw our support, the Muslim Brotherhood would be our friends. Clearly Treason wouldn't apply?

Iran, while it promises to destroy “The Great Satin” after destroying Israel, couldn't be serious! Where would Ahmadenijad go to lecture the unbelievers if not to Columbia? Perhaps, given the symbolic success of taking out the World Trade Center, the Brotherhood and Al Queda will leave New York standing. After all, they have a handy recreation center just next door to the symbol of their domination of the unbelievers.
