Am I the only one who just wants to beat this woman in the face with a baseball bat?

I freaking hate people who think freedom of speech is unlimited.

Once proven of treason you should be shot.

In the courthouse.

Yes, I know she wasn't charged with treason but you might as well call it that.

Yes.

I would use a Morning Star

Ah phew! Thanks guys, my Weltschmertz is relieved... for the moment.

She prides herself on defending unpopular folks. Everyone deserves a legal defense, popular or otherwise. She also said she didn't knoingly assist a terrorist orginization. I suspect based on the judges lenient sentancing that she was duped into passing messages.

Foolish: yes. Deserving of death, I think not.

What annoys me is when people who haven't sat in the courthouse day after day, listening to testimony, think they know better than the judge.
It is human nature to disagree, but until it is proven to me that the court system does not work, I will continue to support the judge's decision, whatever it may be.

[warbeak2099]

She flaunts around as if she is an American hero for doing what she did. It would be naive to actually believe that she didn't do it on purpose. I'm sure the judge knows damn well, it just can't be proven without a reasonable doubt. Which sucks because a criminal IMO has slipped through the system. Yes, everyone is entitled to a lawyer, but she has made it her mission to defend and assist terrorists. I'm obviously being sarcastic about killing the woman, but the court's ruling basically supports her behavior as if what she did was right. The full sentence should be carried out. If someone commits a crime, I don't care who they are, they are not above the law. I don't care if it's mother Teresa, if you directly aid a terrorist... no.

I doubt that first part. I bet should could have easily done so without actually actively knowing... I haven't met any, but I bet that terrorists are like all criminals, they are manipulators, and probably good ones.

Removing judicial discression is not a good idea IMHO.

Also note, I was sarcastic about killing her.

[warbeak2099]

Please, look how she is flaunting around, proud of what she did. She doesn't seem very remorseful about betraying her country. If it was a mistake, I would think she'd be more apologetic. Cmon really...

I would be apologetic for an accident like that, but she might not be. She might think that she didn't intend to do wrong, so she has nothing to be sorry for. It depends on her upbrining... I highly doubt that she would have assisted terrorists willingly.

[BeaverEater]

Knowingly or not that the messages could cause harm, she still illegally transmitted messages between prisoners and their parties. Frankly it should be considered to be treason but as stated before, i am not there and havent seen all the evidence. And treason is punishable by death, but no judge will have the backbone to go that route.

Wasn't there something in the news last week about a US citizen who is now with Al Quaeda? Some of these people are just crazy.

If you commit any act of war/terrorism against the United States, you deserve to be locked up at Gitmo or just shot on the spot if we don't have room for you.

[BeaverEater]

Theres a US soldier that was captured a while back deserting to the taliban. he SHOULD be exected for treason but he probably wont.

lets do something useful with taxpayers money and give all of those found guilty a present:


Bar of Soap!

the real present is that its covered in a purely ungrippable latex!
