Best I could find was a Eddie Slovik was executed for desertion in WWII...which was the last execution of a US Military personnel on active duty during wartime. You had the Rosenberg's in the 50's, who gave the Soviets the info on the a-bomb, but that was for espionage not treason and they were civilians.
I just found that there was a military execution for rape of a minor in 1961 and there are several people on death row that haven't been executed yet...all for crimes other than treason though... >From some of the commentary I have read, the last person the US government executed for treason was the abolitionist, John Brown in 1859. -----Original Message----- From: Larry C.

Most likely if he's found guilty he'll be spending a lot of time at hard labour. Or at least until someone decides to commute the person's sentence.
