That's what Osama Bin Laden's driver will get. He was sentenced to five and half years, with time served. Seeing as how he was captured over six years ago, that means he is basically a free man as soon as the administrative work is out of the way.
In other words, a person who provided material support to the terror network responsible for the attacks of 9/11, the bombing of the USS Cole, and other crimes will be walking the streets in no time. But, I guess that's ok. He is just an innocent follower of the Religion of Peace, after all.
Makes you wonder what will happen if we ever do capture people like Bin Laden alive.
Perhaps Barack Hussein Obama needs to seriously answer this question:
If you are Commander in Chief when Osama Bin Laden is captured, how will you treat his trial and sentencing?
My answer would be: quick military tribunal followed immediately by death by firing squad. But what do I know?
Well, a miltary tribunal made the decision, based upon evidence that I don't have. Therefore, I don't feel qualified to argue about their decision.

I agree with Max. Verbatim.

Well, with highly qualified experts like Andrew McCarthy questioning the decision, I think it is fair to say it boggles the mind.
