So what do you think we should do to people convicted of treason?

Make them listen to Barney(the dinosaur) nonstop for 30 years. After that 1 year in solitary refinement.
After that parole maybe.

I would like exile or life imprisonment (death is too easy)

Of course, after those 30 years they have unfortunately gone insane and committed suicide to escape "the pain."

Of course, I would like to point out that this is assuming they are given a fair trial, and found "beyond a reasonable doubt" to be guilty of the crime of treason. Keep in mind, this could be anything from collaboration in the 9/11 attacks to moving to Iraq and fighting American troops. Protesters would not fall into this category.

A lifetime ban on snack foods. Except for ketchup-flavoured Ringolos.

The horror...

The current punishment in the US for the most grievous cases results in a gig teaching at Harvard.

Death by firing squad...

Treason is the political version of murder.... It's an attack, not only upon the state, but upon the entire population of the state.

That certainly sounds like my idea of punishment.

Wasting bullets, a pity.

Death. Thats what its been and should continue to be. To sell out one's country, the only punishment should be death.

Well the fireing squad isn't always needed. Electric chairs, lethal injection, etc works just the same. Though I'd say firing squads for the worst cases of treason.

How about turning them into a suicidal bomber to attack our allies? I mean enemies *cough cough*
