A Yale law professor and Bloomberg columnist analyzes the debate over
the use of the word “treason” and its role in the Bradley Manning
trial. Last week, a military judge rejected treason charges against the
Army Private First Class who provided tens of thousands of secret
documents to WikiLeaks.
At his court martial, Manning was convicted of espionage and several
lesser offenses and will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, he was acquitted on the charge of “aiding the enemy,” which is
the Uniform Code of Military Justice’s functional equivalent of treason.
