The rub is that he is not an American citizen, therefore not protected by our laws. If he was realy captured fighting a long side of the taliban he deserves what he gets. Why should he go free while his cohorts continue to rot?? Is it because he is Austrailian and they are not, that he should get some kind of special treatment? He knew the deal when he picked up his rifle and joined the jihad. He should count his lucky stars that he is in prison and not dead on the battlefield. Like the old saying goes,"if you can't do the time, don't do the crime."
