A Pakistani court has convicted 5 American citizens of criminal conspiracy and funding terrorist organizations.
Facing life sentences, they were given only 15 years apiece.
The men, all in their 20's were apparently attempting to join a terrorist group in Afghanistan although they claimed they were going to do "humanitarian" work.
Claims of torture by authorities while they were in custody have been denied by the Pakistanis and the FBI.
The trial moved at light speed compared to the years long process usually experienced in Pakistan.
So, a foreign court moves quickly and convicts 5 would-be terrorists.
Why can'r our courts work this well?
