Ex-US sailor convicted of spying
bbc ^ | 3-5-08

A former US navy sailor has been convicted of spying and supplying a pro-al-Qaeda website with information on American warship movements.

Hassan Abujihaad, 32, was found guilty of providing material support to terrorists and disclosing secret national defence information.

He was arrested last year in Phoenix, Arizona.

Abujihaad, a Muslim convert previously known as Paul Hall, faces 25 years in jail when he is sentenced on 23 May.

He showed no emotion as he was convicted of passing classified details of US navy ships to Azzam.com by a jury at the US District Court in New Haven, Connecticut.

Azzam was an Islamist website that prosecutors said had actively supported terrorists but has now closed.

sorry violates the “cruel and unusual punishment” clause-it really, really, really violates it.

Unfortunately, he was not charged with that crime, but the lesser included crimes, and by a civilian court instead of a military General Courts-Martial.
