    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.

    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.
