The indictment says all three are citizens of the United States,
Treason in time of war.

But what about their rights ? Isn't treason in the bill of rights ? Or is that for the media only ?

I would want the prosecution to follow the law and observe their "rights". We do not have to throw away our Constitution to protect ourselves.

Article 3
Section. 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. 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.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
