Army veteran charged with joining terrorists in Syria pleads guilty to lesser charge

No, No No and No.  There should never be plea bargans and all charges possible should be pressed for anyone charged with any sort of Islamic terrorism.  Islamic terrorists are fanatics who may never be safely returned to society.  There should be only two sentences, death if anyone is killed by their attack and life without parole for all other convictions including non-violent attempts to impose Sharia or overthrow Western governments.

Ex-U.S. soldier Eric Harroun, who allegedly fought alongside an Al Qaeda affiliate against the forces of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge Thursday and was sentenced to time served, The Military Times reported.

Harroun, a Phoenix native, was charged in June with conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and conspiracy to use destructive devices overseas, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
