I am not against his being charged for treason, at least he would have had a trial! But to incarcerate someone for life, without a trial, well I certainly hope you never become someone with political or bureaucratic power.

Hicks was charged with Material Support for Terrorism and received a seven year sentence which was suspended for all but nine months.
