1. do they ever get around to calling him a terrorist?

7. No, because he's not an Ay-rab ...

2. Wow!!!

But is 30 years enough? I think he should be put in for life. Letting someone like that back out into society is just too dangerous.

8. No kidding!

Under different circumstances he'd never see the light of day again.

I found another article about it that goes on to say it's 30 years in prison and lifetime supervised release.

What I wonder about is the rest of his terrorist cell and what they're doing to them.

5. He only got that because he wanted to attack congress

If his eyes were set on compton or harlem he may have recieved 2-5 years with probation.

9. If this were indeed a ME person..

He would have been sent to Gitmo, pronto.

So how come he is getting differential treatment? He is just as much a terrorist as any member of Al-Queda.

10. Why not designate him an enemy combatant?

While I don't agree with the MCA, if it is law, why isn't applied uniformally and fairly?

[BlueStorm]

11. Because he is a white man.

The MCA only applies to brown-skinned ferriners doncha know? There is no possible way a good ole white, Republican boy can be a terruaaist. :sarcasm:
