He is a TRAITOR and needs to be HANGED NOW. If only as an example.

Yep, and hang 'em in public.

[nicmarlo]

military tribunal for this guy

then hang 'im, in public.

As for me leaving FR...I don't think I belong with Democratic Underground

Remember what I said about re-evaluation ..... you could have fooled me

He's NOT an Arab, he's an AMERICAN.

Which is another can of worms. An American can *say* he supports what he wants under the Constitution...but when he *acts*, that's a different story. I agree his actions overseas warrant punishment. His saying he did or didn't support 9/11 is irrelevant, although it is juicy material for raising people's ire, as we've seen on this board.

Hmmm..... reminds me of William Walker.

best of both worlds. you win the cigar!

[mdittmar]

Regular court,more chances for him to be picked off.

Care to expound on that statement?

Please tell me you're not in law school.

[Fred25]

He's NOT an Arab, he's an AMERICAN.

LOL. You mean he’s an American Gentile, a “white” guy.

[clamper1797]

You need to leave FR and got to DemocraticUnderground, where you would fit right in

The more Wild talks the more Wild proves that point .....

[Howlin]

You know what I meant! :-) He wasn't here on a visa.

another winner! meet you in maryland for a cigar.

Does idleness and apathy count as one of these devils? Those seem worse devils to me, if so.

Apathy and idleness may resemble sloth -- one of the 7 deadly sins -- but I maintain that murder and treason are worse because they hurt and jeopardize others, whereas sloth damages only yourself -- unless you are supposed to be providing for a family.

I'm cutting you some slack since you've been a member only since November 10 of this year, but your argument is really foolish.

Thank you. Now if the plan only'll work, I'd willingly give up the cigar.

[IronJack]

Bad morals are better than no morals!

They're certainly more rewarding. Ask Bill Clinton.

I'm just a bit more sophisticated in analyzing certain dynamics in my generation.

Sophisticated is hardly the word I'd use for your reasoning ability. Demented is more like it.

[nicmarlo]

reminds me of William Walker.

Both misguided idiots. Except this one here is a misguided idiot traitor.

[LiberalBassTurds]

"Honorable causes are in the eye of the beholder. He may not be a conventional hero, or noble person (and as I repeatedly said he's misguided and should be punished), but his actions make him an exceptional individual. He's done something most wouldn't, or couldn't."

LMAO... I won't jump you too badly since everyone else is doing a fine job. I will say however if you really believe he is "an exceptional individual" then the hijackers of the 9/11 planes must be "gods" tou you. Hysterical philosophy you've cultivated for yourself partner.

[wildconservatism]

His saying he did or didn't support 9/11 is irrelevant

Because it's too close to the liberals' "hate crime" argument. He's committed treason. Take it at face value. His opinions on events like 9/11 don't change his crime. What he thinks is irrelevant, thoughts and words are not illegal--what he *did* is what matters.
