U.S. Soldier Charged in AT&T Hack Searched for Non-Extradition Countries and Hacking as Treason

A U.S. Army soldier, who pleaded guilty last week to leaking phone recordings of high-ranking U.S. government officials, conducted online searches about countries without extradition and the question "can hacking be treason?", prosecutors said on Wednesday. The government revealed these details in a court motion aimed at keeping the defendant in custody until his release from the army.
