U.S. forces captured Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh, a California-born man named the "American Taliban" in the Afghanistan invasion in 2001, just months after the September 11 terror attacks. He is reportedly responsible for the murder of CIA paramilitary officer Johnny Mike Spann. Spann had been questioning Lindh at a prison, when his fellow prisoners staged a bloody revolt. Now, at age 38, Lindh is being released from federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana after serving 17 years of his 20-year sentence. He's reportedly earned his freedom due to "good behavior" and will be on probation for three years.
The conditions of Lindh's release require he undergo mental health counseling and refrain from using certain technology. He will also be banned from traveling outside the U.S. without the court's consent.
Yet, according to the National Counterterrorism Center, Lindh continued his terrorist ways for some time.
As of May 2016, John Walker Lindh (USPER) who is scheduled to be released in May 2019 after being convicted of supporting the Taliban continued to advocate for global jihad and to write and translate violent extremist texts.
He has also failed to renounce his terrorist ideology.
Spann's daughter Alison was only nine when her father became the first American to be killed in combat in Afghanistan. In March she appealed to President Trump to keep him behind bars, and on Tuesday she re-shared the letter.
I wrote this letter to @POTUS asking that the early release of John Walker Lindh be stopped. Hes going to be released on May 23, despite reports that he has continued to advocate for global jihad. This is not a reformed prisoner... pic.twitter.com/HVOryefVIE Alison Spann (@newsgirlalison) May 21, 2019
"I feel his early release is a slap in the face - not only to my father and my family, but for every person killed on September 11th, their families, the U.S. military, U.S. intelligence services, families who have lost loved ones to this war and the millions of Muslims worldwide who don't support radical extremists," Spann wrote.
Whoever is responsible for releaseing this murdering traitor is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
On Pinochet Aviation.
Teeth were used to kill Spannaccording to Lucy Goldberg on her radio show. She expressed utter horror at what she reading over the air! I was there listening to the show, which might have been the ONLY report.
This loser was born and raised in my little hometown of Fairfax California
My town is mostly full of tattoos and bike punks. these days so its changed quite a bit
Still very liberal however
If the demonrats want a case for treason, there it is.
Alison Spann is probably a better person than I will ever be, but in her situation I’d have to recognize a certain upside in Lind’s early release.
;^)
If he’s non repentant and refuses to change his ideology and has fought for the other side why is he being released? Am I missing something here? He murdered a CIA officer in hand to hand did he not?
If you watch the video, they basically tore Spann apart with their bare hands and teeth. They were on him like the animals that they are.
Sure be a shame if he was killed in a tragic carjacking gone wrong or something like that....
You beat me to it
nope, death penalty.
Yeah but now we keep electing them to Congress
He ought to be banned from traveling into the U.S. with the court's consent.
I doubt that he can.
The young lady has an impressive resume.
Is he still being released today? It seems there is no time left to do anything.
Send him to Ireland. I’m sure they are dying to take him in since he’s a citizen with all the left-wing islamic bona fides.
They both look like f***ing animals. Both should have been interrogated and then shot.
But we’ve been paying for that assclown - who killed an American CIA officer - for three meals, room and board, etc. for 17 years now
Meanwhile, an American family lost a loved one. And God knows how many other Americans this POS was responsible for killing.
The family of that CIA man deserves better.
