Showing Original Post only (View all)The "Isis Bride" . . . . let her come back or not? [View all]
I am a forgiving person. I am opposed to draconian laws that prescribe harsh punishment. I am opposed to the death penalty, for example. I am not, however, in favor of overlooking serious transgressions.
In my view, this woman has committed crimes against our country. She gave aid and comfort to a non state sworn enemy of the United States, one with whom we have engaged with hot war. I see that as REALLY serious.
So . . . . . what to do now that she wants to come "home"?

My understanding is that she was born after her father was no longer a diplomat.
