OP, no matter how you look at it he worked with a terroist organization, which is treason.
Maybe so. But treason is a criminal offence in the Citadel system of laws. Shepard is above the law. It has no validity or basis when applied to him. He does what he must, because he can.

Unless Cerberus is part of the Alliance
Don't even get me started on this. I'm convinced that Cerberus splintering off from the Alliance was merely a ploy to isolate the Systems Alliance from the political fallout that would result from standard Black Ops operations.
The Illusive Man is probably friends with the upper echelon of Alliance Brass. Maybe he goes for drinks with Admiral Hackett once a month. I wouldn't be surprised.

I think the Salarian Councilor is on board with Shepard and Anderson but is trying to keep quiet about it until more evidence is presented. Mordin and his Pupil both know about Reaper indoctrination. That would mean the STG knows about it. I would assume that the Salarian Councilor knows about it as well (being that he has such a high position in Government).
That's a comforting thought at least, I hope you're right

Cerberus support a greater role for Humanity in
the Galactic Community.
Their objective is not to 'kill aliens'.
Actually I get the distinct feeling that TIM doesn't give a flying sh*t about the other species of the galaxy. Human's aren't supposed to be on top, no race is supposed to be on top. Whilst their main objective might not be to "kill aliens" - Cerberus certainly isn't Alien friendly.

You seem to have forgotten "Ah, yes... 'Reapers'. We have dismissed that claim". Reapers don't exist, Saren made them up to scare Sheps... duh I thought everyone knew that... geez
If they dismiss the claims why should they threaten him with treason for working with Cerberus? They gave him the authority to make those kind of calls and deal with it accordingly. He's above the law. If he feels that's where he is needed then it's up to him.
That was sarcasm... but since you didn't seem to notice, you win a picture
You are a dick. Get out of my thread.

For... treason???!?!
...yup.
Please note that Shepard can convince the council to allow him/her Spectre status. The basic uninformed concern the council had was that Shepard would act against them for the sake of humanity above all else. Similarly to Saren acting for himself above all else. Either way, it's treason.
But Shepard has the opportunity to convince the council there's a reason for what he/she's doing. You can choose to act on that or not. Saren didn't.

At least Saren got a trial AND was only revoked when the Council was provided with evidence beyond reasonable doubt.
Shepard just got yelled at without a chance to defend himself.

I would say eliminating a Human Reaper promotes galactic stability.
TIM made the Council hostile to you by spreading rumors that you were with Cerberus to make sure you had nobody to rely on but him. We have no idea if the Council is telling Shep the truth with the whole 'ah yes, Reapers' thing--in fact, there are a few news announcements about Council races rebuilding their fleets and suddenly practicing drills that imply they're taking the Reapers more seriously than it seems. Don't forget that the salarian STG is aware of the Reapers, apparently aware enough to write academic papers about them.

Ok... but they're still coming. And now that Sheps doesn't work for TIM anymore (assuming paragon ending), he's free to return to the Council and say "See, I told you I wasn't being a traitor"

Btw: That's a missed scene for Bioware, if you go back to the Citadel, you can't talk to the council after the suicide mission to tell them that you royally screwed over TIM and f*cked up his plans to use the Collector base.

No trial. No conviction . You spoke with them and chose to try and reason with them or let them consider you dead to them.
At least I know my Shepard had Spectre status reinstated.

Don't see whats so hard to understand. Cerberus is an enemy of the Council. Makes sense they wouldn't be too happy about one of their agents working for them.

Working with Cerberus as a means to an end does not preclude Shepard from working for the Council.
They chose to invest Shepard with the power of a Spectre - they should respect that he will protect the Galaxy any way he sees fit. If that involves working with Cerberus, so be it. Why should they be mad?
They act all surprised that Shepard would do what he does when the whole point of the Spectres is to be able to act without the constraint of political or legal notions. Threatening him with treason is silly. What do they expect to be the result of zero accountability? They must have seen a situation like this coming.
The whole point of Spectres is that they undergo a rigorous screening process before even being considered as a potential candidate so that they can be trusted with this extreme power. To suddenly go back on all of Shepard's history and question his judgement is silly. He's a Spectre. He should answer to no one but is courteous enough to inform the Council of his doings.
