Liberia Ex-President Charles Taylor get 50 years in prison

The first former head of state to be convicted of war crimes since World War II was sentenced to 50 years in prison this morning by an international court in The Hague, Netherlands.

The court convicted Charles Taylor last month of aiding rebels in neighboring Sierra Leone in a campaign of terror, involving murder, rape, sexual slavery and the conscription children younger than 15.

Taylor, 64, would serve out his sentence in a British prison.

Jeez, add 50 to 64... oops he's gonna die in prison....
