#1 For not cooperating, he should have gotten the max. This judge should be recalled.

#2 No. Ressam was going to kill dozens of people at LAX. Justice would have meant he be skewered and slow roasted.

#3 So this murderous parasite was arrested in December 1999, and it took over 5-1/2 years to try, convict and sentence him.

Tell you what: compress that 2,000+ days of "due process" into no more than 12 hours, and then I'll consider the law-enforcement approach as a possibly viable tactic in the war against Islamic totalitarianism.

But not until.

#4 And he was driven to this by our illegal occupation of Iraq, right?

#5 Pointed out at CaptainsQuarters Blog that sentence includes time served and w/good behavior could be out in 13-14 yrs.(Altho they missed subtracting his 4+yrs served from good behavior time. He could be out in less than 9 yrs.)

#7 Dave D., exactly.
Why can't we add on a bit to the Patriot Act providing that non-U.S. citizens (at least) arrested for terrorist activity be sent to Gitmo for (military) trial, incarceration and-uh-punishment?
Treating terrorism as a domestic criminal matter will be even less successful than the way we prosecute and punish child molesters.

#8 This guy should be impeached.

#9 Hugh Hewitt is fit to be tied over the short inappropriate sentence as well as the remarks that Judge Coughenour made prior to sentencing this villian.
See the Hewitt link for the lecture. One would think this guy was a Carter appointee, but alas he's a Reagan judge.

Hewitt:The arrogance of this renegade judge's lecture is simply beyond belief. Congress should summon the judge to testify as to his inane remarks, but precede and follow his appearnce with panels comprised of vitims of terror and the families of military killed in the war.
