If so he would have been charged and convicted of treason, no ?

Most of the article was on target though. He tends to neglect that the fact that espionage is a game played by all the major states. He is arguing for Americans to be loyal (and I agree) while glossing over the fact we want other state's citizens to be disloyal. When those state's are allies or at least not enemies the waters tend to become a bit murky. We have also been known to trade spies from time to time.

That's a fair point, but my point was only that while he technically (from a legal stand-point) did not commit treason, or at least was not convicted of it, it does not mean that it would be unreasonable to say he committed treason--much as the Rosenbergs did in the 50s.
