Why would Newsweek post baby pictures of this tratior? Some sweet, brain washed little boy.

Let the spin begin !

Warm up the gurney? Or the starting gun for the publisher's race to get the book rights? Which will it be?

According to his interview with CNN, Walker fought with Pakistanis in Kashmir in the summer of 2001.

I say, give him a trial--in India.

The focus on whether he did or would shoot at an American should not be the crucial issue. He admitted that he fought with Al-Qaeda in Afstan and Kashmir. Did he help kill Afghan ethnic minorities? He admitted fighting or abetting terrorism in Kashmir. Get him to confess more. Then "decide" that he has to be transfered to India for his crimes there. Let the Indians have him and try him. This will be the best lesson to teach. Teach America about the world and "consequences." Don't let him come back to America for a media sympathy-fest where consequences for one's actions are suborned in favor of media driven emoting.

[Teacup]

The linguni spinned liberals will try to spin this into something that wasn't his fault.

[Porath]

I'm already sick of reading about this misfit freak. And it's even more sickening to think that there's a debate going on about what to do with him. He's an outright TRAITOR who should stand before a firing squad! -Is that not OBVIOUS????

[Amore]

This is so depressing. Only 41% think he should be put on trial for his actions "as is"?

[Maroon]

He grew up in possibly the most liberal, tolerant place in America, yet he was drawn to the most illiberal, intolerant sect in Islam, the Taliban.

They just don't get it.

[Revolting cat!]

Too late. His status as a media personality like, say Bambi, is his best protection against those "mean spirited" conservatives like ourselves. No one cares what happens to his two Yankee comrades now under the care of the Northern Alliance. They're invisible, nonexistent. Johnny might as well be nominated for TIME magazine's Man of the Year.

Soon he'll be competing with Scumbag himself on the corporate/university lecture circuit.

"doodoo"

We all pick our monikers carefully.
That's exactly what he is.

Lindh, who grew up surrounded by upper-middle-class affluence in California,...

Somehow the word liberal upbringing, or anything similar seems to be ommitted from this article about how Johnny Taliban grew up in Marin County, CA.

[LizM]

The liberal media will make a hero of this traitor. That cover photo of Walker gives me the creeps.

[Revolting cat!]

Teach America about the world and "consequences." Don't let him come back to America for a media sympathy-fest where consequences for one's actions are suborned in favor of media driven emoting.

This insight bears repeating.

[Teacup]

Don't let him come back to America for a media sympathy-fest where consequences for one's actions are suborned in favor of media driven emoting.

I agree with you. His parents will milk this and have John Walker tried via media before he goes to any trial, IMHO.

[KC_Conspirator]

Let me rephrase that: I have a problem with Newsweak equating "liberal" with "tolerant".

First "sound-bite" on the evening news ?

• Johnny Cochran
• Robert Shapiro
• Laurence Tribe

Good Question!

HEY! Newsweek! Got any nice little baby pictures of "little Adolph" (As in Hitler)?.......
Benito.....maybe?

You guys are on a roll, huh?

Hey! Newsweek! Go Pound Sand!

I agree. But then again, you and I are being mean spirited conservative types, LOL.

[SpringheelJack]

I did a little checking and found out that Walker's full moniker was doodoo@hooked.net. Put that into a Google group search and it will bring up several dozen of his posts.

[Teacup]

Are you listening to Rush right now? He is talking about the Blue zoners VS the Red zoners, that is, the color of the states who voted for Al Gore VS GW Bush.

Red zoner= CIA operative Johnny (Mike) Spann.

Blue zoner-Johnny Walker-California.
