Should spend every single day of his sentence in prison. He's lucky he wasn't executed for treason. A young former marine, Johnny Spahn, was murdered by a bunch of Taliban prisoners and I am still not convinced this slime wasn't involved.

Lindh's mother, Marilyn Walker, said she hoped "America can find it in her heart to forgive John."

"Despite what people may think, John Lindh took no action whatsoever against his native country," she said.





HUH? Fighting AGAINST Americans is NOT taking action against his country? Hanging out with terrorists and letting them train him is NOT taking action against his own country?

Has she been sipping deadly Kool-Aid lately?

Her son should have been put to death as far as I am concerned. He's LUCKY to get 20 years.

CIA Johnny Michael Spann 32, of Winfield, Alabama. Spann was killed during a deadly four-day prison riot near Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan. Died on November 25, 2001.

I agree, It's unfair for him to spend the rest of his 20 years in a cell. Take him out and shoot him.

I'll forgive Mr. Walker, after he has served his full sentence.

I'd be willing to see him go free following a "liberal application" of Rachel Corrie therapy.

Heck, I'd ask at least as much for all his terrorist scum brothers.

I can't. 20 years isn't enough for this traitor.

If Lindh were given Yaser Esam Hamdi's punishment, stripped of his U.S. citizenship, deported to Saudi Arabia, I wonder how long it would be before he showed up at the U.S. embassy asking for his cell back.

"It's basically unfair to have John Lindh serve the remainder of his 20-year term," said Lindh's lawer, James Brosnahan. "It seems to us a matter of justice and, may I use the word, compassion."

Agreed. Saw his head off.

But now, Brosnahan said, "comparable conduct should be treated in comparable ways, in terms of sentencing."


Fair enough. Lindh renounces his citizenship, get's deported to Saudi Arabia, and if he ever set's foot back in the U.S. it's open season.

Liberals have to learn that there are consequences for actions. Personal responsibilities are not just for Republicans.

Shrillary's "it takes a village" gives people a built in excuse not to take responsibility. Someone does something wrong? Hey! It's society's fault. WRONG.

It's a parents job to teach children this, not the school systems job.

Lurch is getting a hard lesson in personal responsibility right now with the things he's said/done in his past that can't be denied or explained away.

John Lindh, John Kerry. Both guilty of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Take a flying leap. You're lucky you weren't executed.

What would Lindh's sentence have been under his beloved Islamic law?

Oh, yeah -- an execution carried out by cruel and unusual means.

Since we're forgiving Americans but also taking into account Lindh's love for Islamic law, perhaps, we should just chop off his hands and feet and release him to his mother.
