"The men are to be sentenced in federal court June 29. The plea agreement recommends 5-year prison terms for both."

I have some serious problems with this kind of sentencing guideline. Any Judge that concurs should be considered aiding and abetting terrorism.

"5 years..." - ridiculous! Last time I checked treason was still a capital offense. I wonder if it's too late to send them to Gitmo for trial in front of a military tribunal. The death penalty would definitely be in play, and their previous testimony/conviction could be used as evidence.

They should get 5 times 5 years for the drug dealing alone. The terror connection should get them a sentence to a cell underneath the prison.
