Judiciary - Iii Article Constitution

I have a couple of questions for you, konquererz. I don't know if this is appropriate to ask instead of comment, but I'm assuming you know much more about this than I do. Please forgive my ignorance if it's inappropriate here.

What happens in the case of impeachment? Who would the "jury" be then?

Maybe I don't understand the full definition of treason because isn't the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui basically all about treason? I understand treason to be levying a crime of war OR adhering to enemies of the US. I'm sure there's something I'm missing here.
