Yes, espionage for the people at Wikileaks.
I am in sympathy with your sentiments
against the soldier who betrayed his trust.
However, treason is defined by Article 3 Section 3
which limits it to waging war against America
or in giving aid and comfort to its enemy.
It has been argued
that this requires a state of war
for the
existence of an enemy; (I do not
necessarily adopt that point of vu).
Technically, the legal cognition of an enemy
might prove to be an obstacle to successful prosecution.
