Tragedy in 2002 or 2007?

Then:

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) – John Walker Lindh was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Friday after tearfully telling a courtroom that he made a mistake in joining the Taliban.

Now:

AN AUSTRALIAN who pleaded guilty to supporting terrorism was sentenced to nine months in prison after becoming the first detainee convicted by military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay.

John Walker Lindh went on his “journey” as a teen, while David Hicks began his “journey” as a man in his 20’s.

Something is wrong with this picture and I am not sure what it is.

Based on this, are Conservatives wasting their energy and their political capital defending keeping GITMO?
