Of course he is. He's facing a lifetime in prison and he has strong ties to terrorist organizations that would love to 'free' him. The judge was right to hold him.

So that means we have no choice in the matter, if our taxes pay for him while he is in jail.

Yep, Just like every other federal or state prisoner, including Charles Manson.
Our taxes pay for all of them to lift weights, watch cable TV and otherwise amuse themselves at our expense, no matter the crime. It's the cost of maintaining a legal and prison system. Some states make the convict pay for his own keep, when he has anything to pay with, and I endorse that idea, but I don't believe it applies to federal prisoners, like Johnny-boy.

I simply do not want my hard earned tax dollars to feed and clothe him. Do you?

Not really Dani, but we have no choice. When he was brought into the American criminal law system Johnny 'Taliban' Walker gets the same treatment as every other prisoner.

This is why many folks thought the Military Tribunal idea that president Bush proposed (and is still in place) to try foreign prisoners on foreign soil was a good idea. Unfortunately, Johnny 'Taliban' Walker is an American citizen, not a foreigner, even though we may wish he were. That means he gets the standard 'three hots and a cot' treatment.

What they should do is banish him from the United States and send him back over there.

This works for me Dani, but it's not feasible. Besides, I don't want this pampered scum to have the chance to harm Americans again.

A life in prison as the 'wife' of a 300 pound Hell's Angel is a fairly decent punishment for a spoiled kid who thought his country - the freest country on earth with the best system of government ever devised by man, despite it's flaws - was not worth living in and instead, he bought into a 'religion' that rewards killing and destruction of innocents as a noble act. Johnny-boy not only bought into it but did everything he could to involve himself in the killing of others - possibly Americans - and turned down the chance to leave the area and the fighting, but refused.

We're stuck with him but he won't be playing Muslim martyr for long. The 'boys' in cell block D will probably convert him real quick and Johnny-boy will have years and years to contemplate his actions that got him to where he is.
