"treason is treason" I find the idea that someone who has not pledged their allegiance to a particular country can commit treason against said country to not make much sense. "Just a couple national security secrets okay?" He shouldn't have access to any such secrets afaik. "I agree, he shouldn't be locked up. He should had been sentenced to hanging, from the neck." I understand that it is easy to say such things online, especially since it is hard to humanize someone that you have only seen being talked about in various sites, but I think that you treat human lives way too cheaply, especially for something as minor.
