Including time served, he serves another 5 months in jail and will be released.

Salim Hamdan's sentence of 5 1/2 years, including five years and a month already served at Guantanamo Bay, fell far short of the life sentence he could have gotten for aiding terrorism by driving and guarding bin Laden. It now goes for mandatory review to a Pentagon official who can shorten the sentence but not extend it.
It remains unclear what will happen to Hamdan once his sentence is served, since the U.S. military has said it won't release anyone who still represents a threat.
YaaaaY! I love the justice system. The man who guarded Bin Laden gets a lighter sentence then a bank robber, even though he was in an organization that was responsible for 9/11.
"How many lawyers does it take to shingle a roof? Depends on how thin you slice 'em."
Wakka Wakka!
