The more I hear, it sounds as if the govt. can make a credible case of treason against the American Taliban.

Proof is another matter. I understand a confession is no good unless it is made on the witness stand by the defendant. Also, corroboration by two witnesses of acts of treason is required. Given the situation, it may be difficult for the govt. to carry it's burden at trial.
