But so far as I can tell, he was not accused of treason. It's not clear he actually fought against Americans, as he appears to have been captured by the Northern Alliance. That's why I am wondering if the legal status of the U.S. opponent is important in determining treason.
They aren’t required to charge you with treason. I’m sure there are s lot of factors that go into the decision.
