"(1) an intent to betray the United States, (2) an overt act, (3) proved by two witnesses, (4) providing aid and comfort" Looks to me like he meets ALL the criteria.

1)He stated that his reports were designed to increase the anti-American, anti-Bush sentiment
2)He did it on public television
3)Not only are there two witnesses, there are MILLIONS
4)He bolstered the morale of the enemy.
All four conditions are met.
