Even when helping an enemy you are at war with is treason (I presume it is), it was not done on American territory and he was there not in a sworn profession. Therefore, it should not be punishable under US law. Or else accept the consequence that other countries make laws that are extraterritorial as well. I find it a bit hypocritical(?) to say that the US can have laws that govern what Americans do in Afghanistan, but other countries can not have laws that govern what Americans do in Afghanistan (ICC). Either you recognize that law is bound to the territory of the country that enacted the law, or not. Assuming the right to of extraterritorial legislation yourself while denying it to others is not a case of setting the right example.
