There is no parole in the federal system, this guy has a minimum 20yr sentence and likely more.

I pretty much agree with you here.
But I do think we're in a lose/lose situation simply because the laws that were in place at the start of "WOT" do not deal well with enemy combatants who are not in uniform.
Honestly I'd like to see the guy do more then 20yrs but I'll take that over letting him go free.
