HAMMOND, Ind. - A former Purdue University graduate student convicted of threatening to kill President George W. Bush and others in Internet postings has been sentenced to more than four years in prison.

Thirty-eight-year-old Vikram S. Buddhi, an Indian national who was living in West Lafayette, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Hammond to 57 months in prison and 3 years of probation.

Buddhi denies he committed any crime and represented himself in court Friday.

He was convicted in 2007 on 11 counts of making threats that were posted in a chat room in 2005 and 2006.

Authorities said Buddhi hijacked online identities of other Purdue students to post messages. The messages justified the murder of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and the rape of their wives.

4. Good he deserves it, not only for what he did but because he tried to frame others

I hope we can expect similar sentences for the ones going after President Obama.
