If he is released from UK jail he can hop onto a ferry and go to mainland EU. There he could travel to anywhere within the Shengen zone. I'm not sure about western countries, but Poland(as well as other eastern countries I believe) will not extradite anyone anywhere unless the crime is also considered a crime here, there is no possibility of death penalty, and there is strong evidence submitted that makes a conviction likely. By its definition treason against a country can be committed, by a citizen of that country. Assange is not a US citizen so he can't commit a crime of treason against US - end of story. US could try to get him on some other charges - espionage perhaps, but there would have to be strong evidence which allegedly is severely lacking. This is why it is very important for US to have Assange extradited from UK. UK has a "special" extradition deal with US that simplifies the procedure.
