Even if he is tried for treason, since we are not at war, he probably won't be executed. He will probably spend the rest of his life at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

He told Lamo how he once walked out of a classified document room at Forward Operating Base Hammer with data that he had copied onto a CD labeled as Lady Gaga music." And a bit further on: "He was upset at the Army and Army policies, as well as with U.S. foreign policy, Lamo said." So it would seem that the guy wsa not just a whistleblower but had a political agenda. That said, he also violated security laws while in an active combat zone. He potentially could have been responsible for the deaths of a lot of American and Iraqi personnel. He'll be lucky if he isn't tried for treason and executed.
