As much as I'm repulsed by her actions, I'm always in favor of merciful resolutions. The two years lost is enough, let her atone through renewed dedication to her family.

I don't think either of these guys were CIA.

If it were the uk she wouldn't even have served a prison sentenced. Most who came from Isis got 'monitored'.
Manning was army Snowden NSA
Okay, if you're some dumb 16 year old I can understand that, but if you're a damn career federal agent investigating ISIS? How do you think being a woman over there is going to be peachy for you?
If she were a LeShawna Brown or a Hamida Najjar, you know she would be in a jail cell with 45 demonize her on a daily basis every chance he could, talking about having to get more and more security to sniff out these people at borders and trying to pass mandatory cavity searches for every non white person
Not sure what does her age or how long she stayed there has to do with this, having the option for defectors to return home on their own is far more valuable than punishing a single agent who's live is already ruined anyway.

Well, they surely drew the short straw in comparison.

Go girl, that seems a good catch! Who doesn't like people with a thing for severed heads! Totally not alarming!

In other words: "I was thinking with my pussy". Let's call a spade a spade.
Well, At least she realized her mistake before it was too late.
About why only 2 years of prison, well, technically she didn't join ISIS, but married one dude from ISIS, and in few weeks saw the mistake and ran away. I don't think she had time to be a full member of a terror cell or anything like that.
People on Gaf are out for blood and revenge on this one huh. Should have guessed.
Spending 2 years in prison is actually a pretty long time. It may not sound like much, but we don't know any details here. What purpose would locking her up for life serve? Just to please that little feeling in your gut?
That's not to say she didn't do anything wrong, obviously she did. Big time. But man people are happy to grab those pitchforks based on 1 article.
Reading the first page of this thread is all sorts of fucked up. Jeez. One of the reasons I'm happy we don't have jury duty where I live. Mob justice is real.

Manning was US Army, Snowden was a NSA contractor. And it's the FBI that handles counterintelligence, not the CIA (which does foreign intelligence).
The woman the article is about kinda sounds like a real life Carrie Mathison from Homeland. Both are in late 30s, blonde, and fell in love with terrorists.

While she's in jail, a sound clip should be looped reminding her that she would have been sliced in half by ISIS "law" for the same crime if the situation was reversed.
Two years is fine, but it should probably be 5-10 to teach her a lesson and remind her that most women living under ISIS rule didn't have the choice that she was able to make.
Idiot. Civilization was so horrible to her.

Why would they blur her face? Why are her safety concerns held in higher reguard than any of the other idiots who run off and become an ISIS bride?
because it puts the FBI in a bad light that their own translator did this
it's a coverup
My brother's wife first met him/wrote to him while he was in jail.
He's not a murderer, just a repeat idiot on much lesser offenses but it still blows my mind that women will actually seek out men in prison.

Maybe she's still useful.
