Personally, I think he's got some screws loose, perhaps to the point of having a mental illness. He may have been, and might still be, an exceptional chess player, but that does not translate into intelligence about other matters.
That said, there's no real reason for the US authorities to prosecute him. His "transgression" was minor, over 12`years old, and is totally meaningless now. In fact, I'd just let him slide off into obscurity. A man of his views is an embarassment to the USA. A public trial covered by the world's media would do the USA no good and would utterly destroy what's left of Fischer's reputation, if anything.
