Explain that. He won't get "solitary" anyway. He is facing life in prison. Maybe he will be put into solitary confinement for small amounts of time for unruly behavior, etc. But, he conspired to aid the enemy. That is treason, and the punishment for treason is death in most cases. We don't know the full story, so maybe there are extenuating circumstances, so they decided not to persue the capitol punishment. But, for now, I believe it's an effort by the military to not upset Muslims. Just my opinion.
As a side note, I don't believe life in prison is "as effective". He will no longer be a productive member of society, and will cost the government tens of thousands of dollars to house. Death by lethal injection is much more cost effective. I mean, after all, aren't we in deficit?
