Ouch.
Hold onto your hat. You may remember this Hizbullah spy who infiltrated both the FBI and the CIA. The sentence is in.
A $750 fine (I kid you not), and the money quote: "[Judge] Cohn signed an order to deport Prouty but simultaneously signed a second order withholding the deportation. She will be able to stay in the U.S. but not work or travel outside the country without special permission."
Very appropriate, given the Alice In Wonderland trial, that the sentence which simultaneously strips her of her citizenship and orders her deported, also stays the deportation order. As a non-citizen convicted felon who has a bogus marriage and cannot leave the country, what, exactly is her status? Permanent Illegal Resident? I presume at some point this judge was taught formal logic? Maybe no?
In any case, he may have been too harsh. All she did was commit treason. He praised her other work as an 'intelligence' agent so much that in fairness he should have PAID her $750 out of his own pocket.
This case, and many others like it, make clear that the current legal system is not able to handle terrorists properly. If McCain wants to close Gitmo, fine. But the point missed by him and others is that in a War on Terror, there will be some people who should be detained as Prisoners of War until hostilities cease. If McCain wants to write new law for this, fine. But the current system is broken, and just closing Gitmo won't fix it.
If Obama is elected, he may put McCain in Gitmo.
If it is any consolation, Canada is just as bad. Terrorists walk free, we suffer constant frivolous legal challenges from Islamists, we've lost track of 41,000 illegal immigrants, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Canada has anti-gang legislation, but apparently conspiring with other Islamists to blow up Parliament does not qualify one as a member of an illegal gang. The Hell's Angels could all change their names to Omar, Abdul, and Muhammad. Then they could get away with mass murder.
Pro Patria
