    American Accused of Being ISIS Fighter in Syria Faces Prosecution in U.S.

    Coalition-backed forces in northern Syria have captured a 28-year-old United States citizen who is believed to have been fighting for the Islamic State, one of only a handful of Americans to be apprehended on the battlefield, officials said.

    Well worth the full read:

    In Canada, an Islamic State member who succeeded in slipping past airport security and returning home has not been charged with any crimes, even after he gave a detailed interview to The New York Times describing how he carried out executions on behalf of the militants.

    Yeah, I do not know how you prosecute these mooks under standard rules of evidence. We would be better served refusing to take them after our favored killers capture them, just leaving them with the “militants” that snatched them in the first place and to their methods of disposal.

    They were misguided

    There’s a large nest of these “saints” in Michigan.

    I am aware of that. There are more where “it” came from and they aren’t all confined to Michigan, but then you know my prejudice against Muzzies. Don’t get me started.

    You are already in gear with the clutch half way out

    So nothing is going to happen to this SOB? His confession is enough for a bullet in the head as far as I'm concerned, and I'd be glad to do it if they needed the help.
    I haven't read the article yet I must admit, I will but I don't think the bullet in the head changes.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    I love how once Obama left office, ISIS's funding was cut by more than 80%...........

    Don't look now Joe but:

    Abdul El-Sayed, a 33-year-old advocate of single-payer health care running an uphill race in Michigan to become the country’s first Muslim governor.
