Yes he deserves to go to jail for life but the death penalty? He didn’t plan the attacks and I doubt he was even supposed to be involved in them at all. But if he had told them his Al Queda connections they may have been able to untangle the spider web…… It seems like a stretch for a death penalty to me.

An enemy comando operating in civilian clothing was automaticly shot in wartime for being a spy.
This isn't a civilian level crime and punishment issue. Treating it as such is a mistake, and a common one of the left. Its a war, you treat it as a war.
The only mistake is that he is not in front of a military court.
