What is Treason?

In the climate of renewed terrorism some Governments are considering passing new laws that will broadening the term treason.

Treason charges have rarely been used outside time of war however it is now a charge that is being looked at to see if it can be adapted to cover the latest forms of terrorism.

The British prime minister has recently outlined plans which would consider deporting any foreigner involved in listed extremist centres and websites.

Do you agree that such steps will help reduce terrorism or is the term 'treason' too vague and simplistic? We ask you where you would draw the line between free speech and treason?
