What are they thinking?

What is wrong with our judges? Lynne Stewart, who has been found guilty of allowing terrorists to communicate from their jail cells during the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center only received 28 months in jail for this crime, when she was facing up to 30 years. The New York Post article says:

"She had been found guilty of providing material support to terrorists by helping her jailed client - blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, the suspected mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing - communicate with his followers.

[Judge John] Koeltl said Stewart was guilty of "extraordinarily severe criminal conduct" with "potentially lethal consequences" by smuggling messages for Abdel-Rahman and issuing inflammatory public statements.

Yet he ruled that a light sentence was justified, given Stewart's treatment for breast cancer and her 30-year career representing poor and unpopular clients."

Another part of the article:

"Stewart was arrested six months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and accused of violating strict prison rules by helping the Egyptian-born Abdel-Rahman spread the word to kill those who did not buy into his extremist interpretation of Islamic law.

The sheik was serving a life sentence for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks, including the Holland Tunnel and George Washington Bridge, and to assassinate Egypt's president when Stewart helped him communicate with his followers and leaders of an Egyptian-based terrorist organization."

This is absolutely ridiculous. She was representing unpopular people because they are criminals, such as terrorists... I don't think they can be popular with too many in this country. I just wanted to comment quick about how disgusted I am. This could really be a case of treason, as she is helping people who want to attack the United States communicate with one another. This woman is a scumbag and deserves a hell of a lot more jail time than this.
