Will Anderson be the Democrat nominee in 2016 in the Kerry tradition? (Only traitors need apply)

•Court-Martial Closed for 'Sensitive' Testimony•Trial Begins for Soldier Accused of Aiding Terror•Court-Martial for Soldier Accused of Trying to Help Al Qaeda
FORT LEWIS, Wash. — A soldier accused of trying to give Al Qaeda (search) information about U.S. troops, including methods for killing soldiers, was found guilty Thursday on all five counts of trying to help the terrorist network.
The verdict in Spc. Ryan G. Anderson's (search) court-martial, which began Monday, was announced late Thursday afternoon.
Anderson, a tank crewman whose 81st Armor Brigade (search) unit is now in Iraq, was accused of trying to give terrorists information about U.S. soldiers' strength and tactics. The terrorists he though he was meeting with were actually undercover federal agents, prosecutors said.
A military spokesman has said the charges amount to attempted treason.
Conviction required agreement by two-thirds of the jury of nine commissioned officers — all from Fort Lewis. The jury vote was not immediately announced.
Anderson, a 27-year-old Muslim convert, could face a maximum penalty of life in prison. The court took a brief recess after the verdict was announced, then planned to reconvene to consider his sentence. |

Is it just me, or is this a recurring problem?

If this the war we all say it is, then we should make an example and execute him.

Nah I dont think its much of a problem. Its been a very long time since America has been in a long and drawn out war, so we havent had much oppertuinity to weed out the bad apples.

I think Gitmo would be the last place we'd want him. He could share all there as well as be further instructed in the religion of hate. He would be welcomed for his value as a traitor.
Life in prison would be a good thing. Leavenworth, amidst those convicted who have, perhaps, a surviving sense of patriotism.
The "recurring problem," as I understand the question, is more one of Muslim converts in the US Military (or the US in general) who turn on their native country in the service of Satan. Yes, that is a recurring problem.

My vote is for Leavenworth as well....where there are some really patriotic types waiting around for something to do....
Sadly, they'll probably isolate him.
