"When you commit treason against the United States of America, particularly at a time when the U.S. is in peril of attack and further attack, I believe the death penalty is the appropriate remedy to consider." -Rudolph Guliani (CNN)
So what do we do with John Walker? Apparently treason is a tough crime to prosecute. Guliani is famous for his "get tough on crime" attitude. What if an American citizen joined the Iraqi army? What if an American citizen joined Hamas or Islamic Jihad? Maybe we should strip him of his citizenship. He's going to get all the protection the constitution affords him even after he found little use for America and those same rights. If he didn't want to be in America maybe we shouldn't take him back. Maybe we should let the Northern Alliance deal with him. Maybe that will make the next young militant thank twice. Or maybe not.
