What Ever Happened To Summary Execution During War Time?

FOXNews.com - Former Navy Sailor Gets 10 Years for Leaking Details of Ship Movements in Terror Case

A former Navy sailor convicted of leaking details about ship movements and the best ways to attack them was sentenced Friday to the maximum 10 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Mark Kravitz said Hassan Abu-Jihaad, of Phoenix, betrayed his country and endangered his fellow sailors.

"I cannot really overstate the seriousness of this crime," Kravitz said.

The leak "does constitute a fundamental betrayal of your country and of your oath. You endangered your colleagues, you endangered your vessel and other vessels and other sailors, and you endangered your country."

Only 10 years in prison? I thought we could still execute people for treason?
