Don’t knock it, if he gets time off for good behavior he should get one day off for every day served. By my math, he’s out in three, just in time to get a job with ACORN and help Obama’s re-election campaign.

Suprised Holder didn’t intervene to get a reduced sentence.

He evidently runs everything to do with legalities in the US now.

That would be 6 years from the first day of incarceration. He has already been in jail for 3 1/2 years so he will be out in time to vote for Obama in 2012.

6 YEARS??????????????????????????????????

Well...while in prison, he can get his four year degree (at our expense), build up his alliances of fellow muslims, establish his cadre of fellow terrorists, eat well, exercise, and in general come out in 6 years far better than when he went in.

My hope is that he and his horde attack the judge that gave him his sentence right after he's released..

The tower will come down some day, and all the judge will have to say is: “Aw, shit.”

Six years? Why bother sentencing him at all? How long has been in detention? Won’t he get to subtract that? This is precisely thee reason these people should be left to cool their heels in Guantanamo until the war on terror is won. Judges, lawyers, and courts have no business in interfering in this war.
