How the government's punishing of the exposure of official wrongdoing can linger for years
An American was sentenced on Thursday to 35 years in prison for the key role he played in a 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai that has been called India's 9/11.
A Chicago businessman was sentenced to 14 years in prison Thursday for providing material support to overseas terrorism, including a Pakistani group whose 2008 attacks in Mumbai left more than 160 people dead.
"I don't have any faith in Mr. Headley when he says he's a changed person and believes in the American way of life," said U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber in imposing the sentence, which was in the range of what prosecutors had requested for Headley's widespread cooperation.
Judge Harry Leinenweber said he was baffled at the descriptions of Rama put forward by Rama's family as a kind, caring person, saying it was so "contrary" to the person who aided the plot on the newspaper's office.
