Which law would cover Americans who are fighting for ISIS. I don't see how their actions could constitute treason because ISIS hasn't attacked the United States. And I don't think we've declared war against them. Furthermore, ISIS isn't even a nation so I don't think existing treason laws would cover this situation. Would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think it is a simple solution of charging these jihadists with treason.

I'm pretty sure beheading our citizens is an act of war.
