Three cheers for justice! Wait, it gets better. See, he’s already been in detention for 5 years awaiting trial, so he’ll only end up serving time for the next 6 months. For aiding terrorism by helping Osama Bin Laden.

Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni who had faced a maximum sentence of life behind bars, gets credit for five years already served at Guantanamo Bay. He thanked the jurors for the sentence and repeated an apology for having served bin Laden.

“I would like to apologize one more time to all the members and I would like to thank you for what you have done for me,” Hamdan told the panel of six U.S. military officers, hand-picked by the Pentagon for the first U.S. war crimes trial in a half century.

The terrorist got three years more than Scooter Libby did for perjury and obstruction.
