Article 5 is used against sovereign states not terror organisations since to use it would be to imply that the latter are some way legitimate.  Besides; it'd also be incredibly hypocritical for a wide range of reasons - the first that comes to mind is that people from America were openly funding the IRA which were, eh, a terror organisation and under your argument America ought to have arrested them for Treason, which seems rather rediculous.

I note that the OP has done his normal thing of ignoring awkward points that he can't address.

So I'll ask more directly: should America have arrested people who directly funded the IRA for Treason?  Or indeed; those who gave weapons and support for the Mujahideen in the eighties?

The (small) number of British SS members (almost all from the Channel Islands due to the German occupation) got treated exactly the same as all POWs were at the time - as probably should have been the case.

There's also the fact that your ignoring: that treason is rebellion against your own state: so you can't commit treason against another country.  Like I can't commit treason against America or Belgium or whoever since those are not my country.
