Like all prisoners of war during war time, he should be sent to a POW prison camp - GITMO - for the duration of the war; and if the terrorists insist on that being “for eternity”, so be it, that’s not our fault.

Sorry but he is not nor should he be accorded the protections given to a POW. This scumbag is a common criminal, tried and convicted as such and should do hard time in a Federal prison, not live it up at GITMO.

No..that’s what he wants...Life in prison at Florence, Colorado is worse...It’s like being buried alive...You die every day there...It may take decades...And as an added bonus, you go insane.

The slow death he’ll get is worth the cost:

I was surprised to see H. Rap Brown is there.

I haven’t thought of him in years.

He’s a reminder of the bad old days.

Only the best for our boy!

“Most cells’ furniture is made almost entirely out of poured concrete, including the desk, stool, and bed. Each chamber contains a toilet that shuts off if plugged, a shower that runs on a timer to prevent flooding, and a sink missing a potentially dangerous trap. Rooms may also be fitted with polished steel mirrors bolted to the wall, an electric light, a radio, and a television that shows recreational, educational and religious programming.[12] These are considered privileges that may be taken away as punishment, so they are placed and remotely controlled such that the inmate does not actually come into contact with them. The 4 in (10 cm) by 4 ft (1.2 m) windows are designed to prevent the prisoner from knowing his specific location within the complex because he can see only the sky and roof through them. Additionally, inmates exercise in what has been described as an “empty swimming pool,” so they do not know their location for possible escape.[13] Telecommunication with the outside world is forbidden, and food is hand-delivered by correctional officers. The prison as a whole contains a multitude of motion detectors and cameras, 1,400 remote-controlled steel doors, and 12 ft (3.66 m) high razor wire fences. Laser beams, pressure pads, and attack dogs guard the area between the prison walls and razor wire.

Eric Rudolph, the Olympic Park bomber, lamented in a series of 2006 letters to a Colorado Springs newspaper that the ADX is meant to “inflict misery and pain.”[14] Charles Harrelson, who was sent to ADX after a failed attempt to escape from a Georgia prison, said “Part of the plan here is sensory deprivation,” and “It could be infinitely worse.”[13] A former ADX warden described the place as “a cleaner version of Hell.”[15] There have been hundreds of “involuntary feedings” and four suicides.[15] Most recently, in June 2009 Richard Reid, commonly known as the “shoe bomber”, went on a hunger strike and was force-fed.”

What do you want to bet he’s crazy as a bug in rug by now?

There is nothing “common” about it. Making war in the manner of an enemy combatant is not a “common crime” that fits the purposes of civil courts. It is civil courts, and their protections of the accused that are “too good for him. He should have been turned over to a military tribunal and sentence imposed there.

Just a little reminder about what Mayor Bloomberg had to say about this guy. and I'll bet he's not even embarrassed.

May 4, 2010, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg:

“Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

Yeah, Mikey, he was just a disgruntled citizen who didn't like the health care bill or something. Speaking of "citizen", how do you feel about his comments today at his sentencing? "I did swear, but I did not mean it."

I'm just wondering if Bloomberg was enlightened in any way by that statement. Nah, he'll still continue to pave the way for the Ground Zero mosque. Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife Daisy Kahn claim to "love this country". Still believe that, Moronic Mayor?

Here is a logic puzzle for you:

Moderate Muslims don’t lie.
Radical Muslims lie all the time.
A Muslim tells you he is moderate.

Is he lying?

Perfect! I'm using that one on some skeptics I know.

I think he’s headed for the super max in Colorado.

I can’t imagine the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) sending him to a regular prison because the man is simply too dangerous.

Also, he would be a leadership figure Black Muslims and other Muslims would rally around to totally disrupt a normal prison.

I don’t see them sending him anywhere except the super max.
