| Traitor getting closer to his court-martial. |
| 2004-05-15 |
| A Lynnwood soldier accused of spying for al-Qaida terrorists came one step closer Thursday to a general court-martial that could mean a long prison term or death sentence. An investigating officer said he will recommend a military trial for Spec. Ryan G. Anderson, 26, a Washington National Guard enlisted man whose unit was called up for deployment to Iraq. "These are serious criminal offenses that present a real and present danger to U.S. soldiers who are currently serving in harm's way," said Col. Patrick Reinert, who presided over a two-day hearing to take preliminary evidence in the case. "There are reasonable grounds to believe that the accused has committed each and every one of the offenses" with which he was charged, Reinert added. The final decision on an Anderson trial and whether to seek the death penalty will be made by base commander Lt. Gen. Edward Soriano. Army officials said they don't know when that decision is expected. Anderson was arrested in February and charged with five counts of trying to provide information about troop strength, methods for killing U.S. soldiers and other information to people he thought were in the al-Qaida terrorist network. The 1995 Cascade High School graduate was nabbed after an amateur terrorist sleuth from Montana noticed a posting on an extremist Muslim Web site and traced it to Anderson, who had converted to Islam. Anderson allegedly told the Montana woman he was "bearing the arms of the enemy" and wanted to switch sides. |

First off, was this woman ever given any recognition or (preferrably) a substantial reward for her successful interdiction of this traitor? Secondly, if by "switch sides" this scumbag means actually finding out about the afterlife, I say let's give him his wish. |
