American Muslim soldier convicted of trying to give help to al-Qaida

And now Ryan Anderson has been convicted. From AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

FORT LEWIS, Wash. -- A National Guardsman accused of trying to give al-Qaida information about U.S. troops, including methods for killing soldiers, was found guilty Thursday on all five counts of trying to help the terrorist network.

The verdict in Spc. Ryan G. Anderson's court-martial, which began Monday, was announced late Thursday afternoon.

Anderson, a tank crewman whose 81st Armor Brigade unit is now in Iraq, was accused of trying to give terrorists information about U.S. troops' strength and tactics. The terrorists he thought he was meeting with were actually undercover federal agents, prosecutors said.

A military spokesman has said the charges amount to attempted treason.

after a quick appeals process he must truly be hanged; that is unless they now use firing squads. this cretin must be executed.

With our lib's running our courts maybe we should let the Militay Handel all these cases?

Yes it will be fun when the ISLAMIC TERRORIST take an American School?

The Germans say they want to hit us again?
I heard some where that they have said they will hit us no mater who is in the White House?


Yea I bet they don't want G.W.Bush and nor does the ISLAMIC TERRORIST STATES?

This story is not even posted as "news" on the CAIR website. No mention of outrage...of course.

His lawyer must be joking..."ryans good idea filter wasnt working" ....what BS. I cant believe that all he can get is life in prison....may he get a "friendly" cellmate...well anyhow with his rear in the air 5 times a day he'll be asking for it anyhow.

I have no problem with the death penalty in a case like this, but the problem with death for these idiots is that they like it. Death would just bring martyrdom for this guy.

Better to put him in a prison and a nice, slippery bar of soap.

this low life pice of garbage. and hes also stupid. i think his whole family should get locked up. thats the only thing they understand. they dont care what happends to themselfs but they do care what happens to there family.
i hope the world will finally open there eyes now that they see the muslims showing there true colors by killing children..
now the whole world should go out and start burning down all the mosques.

THIS GUY IS A TRAITOR! What's wrong with good, old
fashioned punishment like a Firing Squad - as an example for other Jihadists?? What I find sickening is this Anderson - 'A convert to Islam'
can so easily forget his own people and land of birth to do Rock God Allah's bidding. He is entirely a Jerk without honour : of course Islam does attract a lot of criminals, it was after all
created by ONE!!!

How much more Rayn Anderson are there in the U.S. military? Tip of the iceberg or lonewolf.I suspect more.Like rust it goes deeper than what is expose.

When muslim leaders detected threat, they not only killed the perpitraitors but also there brothers, sons, uncles, fathers, nephews ... Maybe the same should be done to a traitor... Do yu think? . . . naw, ferget it . . . err . . . hmmm !
