Would have been nice to at least see him tried for treason. The courts decided it was impossible to prove, but I still think we sometimes need to do what is right instead of what is expedient. We could have tried him on multiple charges so if the treason didn't stick we could get home for aiding and abetting, or something. It's the same mentality that didn't go after Jane Fonda when she went to Hanoi and sat on an anti-aircraft gun and thought it was funny.
I am afraid that you are right. Expedience(Real) for Hanoi Jane and taliban John to no longer be a part of America. Ie; dirt naps-r-them-inc.
