How, exactly, do Snowden's actions in leaking information to the media of a staunchly allied country fit the definition of treason?
The argument is that because he revealed details about foreign operations he "aided the enemy" (insert extremely rubbery definition of 'aid').
In the same way that far too many crimes are IMMEDIATELY proclaimed TERRORISM (for the sole reason that they have harsher penalties and lower requirements for proof, due diligence, etc)
