National guardsman Spc. Ryan Anderson, 27, was convicted on all five counts of attempted treason and related charges by nine officers in a court-martial that ended late on Thursday.

"Is that really the face of evil?"
No, it's not, but the evil that men do comes from their heart, not their face. This man gives new meaning to that old song "Mama don't let your kids grow up to be cowboys." Now, Mama's need to tell their kids not to grow up to be Muslims.
