I couldn't agree with darkside more. You do the crime, you do the time.

There is no room for that type of "patriotism" in the U.S. If this guy walks he'll set a precedent that would allow anyone to do just about anything in the name of patriotism... We already have enough people using religion as an excuse for their horrible behavior, we don't need more of this type of crap going around. Isn't anybody else getting sick of this?

IMHO.
