SAN FRANCISCO — John Walker Lindh (search) asked President Bush on Tuesday to commute his 20-year prison sentence for aiding the Taliban.
His lawyer, James Brosnahan, said that Lindh was fighting alongside the Taliban (search) in a civil war against the Northern Alliance, that he is not a terrorist and that he never fought against U.S. troops.
Brosnahan said the sentence should be reduced because Yaser Esam Hamdi (search), another American citizen captured in Afghanistan on suspicion of aiding the Taliban, is being released after being held for three years as an enemy combatant.

Yep, you're right. Or else released. Instead we'll have a full scale soap opera. Keep in mind also, that Johnny was actually plucked out of the crowd of Taliban vermin and rescued by American forces. Yes, rescued!

Why not? He was of less benefit to the enemy than Jane Fonda or John Kerry.

I don't remember hearing this. Is this true?
I say 20 years isn't long enough.

I understand one of his conditions of release was for him to forfeit his US citizenship. Lindh had no dual citizenship.

Yes, the judge said that if they had directly linked Lindh to Spann he would not have accepted the plea

He should have been hung for treason! This country is too soft on treasonous actions. Those Hollywood goons should be the first on the list for prosecution. I was hoping Sean Penn would stay in the middle east!

I'd like to drop Johnny a line via e-mail and extend my concern regarding his recent lobotomy. If he had half a brain left, he'd realize that hell will freeze over before the good people of America forget what he did to us.

I wonder wether there would be any leniency shown in the world that poor, ignorant John envisaged. Most islamic-based cultures have all sorts of vengeance, retalliation and get-even traditions, without any hope of leniency for traitors whatsoever.
