#1 I heard on the radio this am that he pretended to listen to music as he downloaded the intel onto his mp3 player. I know flash drives are forbidden in DOD, now ipods too?

#2 Time to dust off the Rosenberg Chair at the Big Fed? Toss up, wishy washy Military Court of Appeals or Holder's DoJ. Who should get the jurisdiction to prosecute?

#4 Robert Philip Hanssen (born April 18, 1944) is a former American FBI agent who spied for Soviet and Russian intelligence services against the United States for 22 years from 1979 to 2001. He is currently serving a life sentence at the Federal Bureau of Prisons Administrative Maximum facility in Florence, Colorado, a "Supermax" federal penitentiary in which Hanssen spends 23 hours a day in solitary confinement.

Should this guy not get something similar? Or suggested, dust off the distinguished Rosenburg chair of excellence.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn someone in the BO administration leaked the information as an excuse for getting out of Afghanistan. Hard to trust anyone in Washington who speaks today.

#5 I have zero patience nor any sympathy with anyone that has been entrusted with classified information and then sells out wholesale to the enemy.

DD? No, if they are very lenient the best he should do is the big chicken dinner after a couple of decades of breaking rocks.

I say Execute him, a deliberate act of treason during wartime.

If we cannot do that (and its likely we cannot given who the CINC is), then put him away for life without parole, at hard labor in Leavenworth. Or else put him away like Hanssen and AlQaeda in SuperMax.

And go after the people behind Wikileaks. They are guilty of illegally receiving classified documents, and further, they revealed them instead of going to the authorities. Go after them civil and criminal to the maximum extent. I dont care if we get a conviction, but BREAK them.
