Sensible juries

AP:

A U.S. military jury gave Osama bin Laden's driver a surprisingly light sentence on Thursday, making him eligible for release in just five months despite the prosecutors' request for at least a 30-year sentence to deter would-be terrorists.

Good for them!

Probably a career threatening move too, so even more praise is due.

Time served

It sounds like he has to serve the five months on top of all the time he's already spent in the gulag, is that correct? Nonetheless, I'm surprised at the leniency.

I'm surprised at the leniency, but pleased when we take into account exactly who he is/was.

But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
