46. First of all...

That list is factually wrong in at least two places, and probably more. Neither John Pollard nor Timothy McVeigh were ever convicted of treason.

Second of all, I don't see one single instance in that list where the person being charged with treason (again, excluding the places where the list is factually incorrect) was doing anything other than working specifically for a foreign government.

Which makes sense, since that is what the definition of treason requires.

Edit: The case of Pollard actually demonstrates why treason isn't applicable here. I don't know how I can make it any more clear than that.
