The US wouldn't need to execute him. Look at Bradley Manning: they could just lock him away in a foreign country until the world forgets about him.

I'm confused by this reply: when was Manning locked away in a foreign country? Wasn't he in Fort Meade since his arrest in Iraq? Is there any indication that if convicted by the military tribunal he will be incarcerated in another country?

Look, I forget Kansas exists every so often too, but let's not pretend it's a foreign country!

It was kind of a failed reference to Snowden being trapped in Russia. If the US can keep him there, he's effectively imprisoned until he can be forgotten. I didn't use enough words, I guess.
