Hawkmoon...your profile doesn't tell me how old you are. I suspect that you probably aren't old enough to have children the age of this youngster. I don't think that his motives are known quite yet. However, I have two adult (one 30 and one 32) children and when I think of where each one of them were at that tender age of 20, my heart goes out to the parents. They are going through hell.

Yes, he must pay for his actions, but I would suspect this young man has been brainwashed to an extent.

I do have empathy for him.

He's a traitor. Especially if it's discovered that he approved of the WTC attacks.

I actually don't think this is the case. I know very little about law in this area but I've been working with the impression that one had to "take up arms against one's country" to be declared a traitor. I don't think simple speech in this instance would qualify. Having said that, it does look as if he did exactly that, took up arms.

I wonder if you, Hawk, or anyone else on the thread knows the law in these cases well enough to tell us.
