He won't die a martyr. I like my neighbor's idea of cutting off his left "unclean" hand so he has to wipe with his right "clean" hand for the rest of his days.

If you check it out, the overwhelming European view is that this was a good decision because it dtyroesn't make him a martyr. Then there was this bit of bizarreness from an alleged American:

Added: Wednesday, 3 May, 2006, 21:19 GMT 22:19 UK The poor man is clearly mad. He wants to be part of a movement that rejected him; and America, in its lashing out to find someone to blame, is sending an innocent man to prison. Even the federal judge in charge of the case said in conference that she thought he was innocent. John Wood, Los Angeles

yes, but since none of that is going to happen - why keep posting it?

deal with reality, this guy is going to have an austere but comfortable life. considering if he were with AQ, he would be living in a cave in Pakistan fearing for his life everyday from US drone attacks - this verdict is an IMPROVEMENT in his life over that. A better sentence would be to release him into Pakistan, so US forces could at least hunt him like an animal.
