You know, it’s a lot cheaper to just “dust” these terrorists when they are caught redhanded like this joker was. Also, cases like this really put a strain on those senile old bass turds in our Federal courts.

Boy that 2003 US invasion of Iraq even caused an Islamic nutjob to travel back in time in an attempt to wreck havoc at a millennium event...

Wasn’t this case cited by the Dims as the “proper” way to handle terrorism?

They also failed to sentence him to execution, which was the appropriate sentence.

Don’t know about that one. I didn’t follow the case that closely.

They should recalculate it to the maximum 35 years.

I think one of the last things dubya should do as president is fire the 9th circus judges. He can do that and it would really benefit the country and his legacy.

Something like that.

(Actually I was looking for the Larson cartoon with a guy holding a burned out torch and a thought bubble of the guy who sold it -with a guarantee- to him)...

I think the problem here is the federal sentencing guidelines, which unnecessarily intrude the authority of the trial courts for sentencing, making it difficult for everyone involved. The guidelines came about mainly in response to the courts’ reluctance to impose strong enough penalties (Congress felt) in support of the War on Drugs. State court judges and juries have much more freedom to arrive at a just verdict.
