I thought the article went overboard in three areas, first the gratuitous reference to "Obamaland" was a cheap shot. Second it presupposed that this terrorist would get a trial in a United States District Court. As an Army Officer he is going to be facing a court martial, where the rules are very different. Casting him as a victim is not going to fly. I believe the penalty remains hanging. Third it is not a surprise that his family would call him a "good American." Its his family for heaven's sake, leave them out of it.

What I do not understand is how so many people missed him for what he was.
While we all have to take our shoes off at airports, here was a guy inside the army e mailing some crazy imam in the middle east, posting all kinds of stuff, and claiming Muslims should not be sent to fight in the Middle East.

BTW according to that "logic" would Catholics and Lutherans have been given
exemptions to fight Italians and Germans in WWII?
