Amazing, simply amazing! Congressman Conyers snubbed by Bush: Conyers showed up at the gates of the White House with several other members of Congress to deliver the signatures of 122 congressional Democrats and 560,000 citizens on petitions seeking a response on the memo. "We want an answer to our letter and if we have to send him 1 million signatures or 10 million, we're going to keep collecting them," said Conyers, who asked to deliver the bundles of documents in person but was told by White House staff members to pass them through the gate. Dozens of protesters shouted "Let Conyers in" as they carried signs that said: ""Bushame on you. You lied, they died." news.yahoo.com

I'm with you on treason; I don't think this fits the definition... The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. lectlaw.com There are plenty of better grounds than treason.
