Yep, Mike Spann killed while talking to scum Lindh. But lets now forget all the Vietnam POWs and our fighting Vets who suffered because of Fonda as well. All I`m saying is it is outrageous that this woman, if you can call her a woman, never spent two seconds in jail because in my opinion she did the same exact thing as Lindh if not worse. Let`s not forget Lindh was with the Taliban well before we started taking them out. Fonda on the other hand took sides with commies well after the Vietnam war had started and created mass propaganda for them. It just goes to show that their are two sets of laws in this country, one for the famous and one for the not famous. In my opinion Fonda as well as Lindh both should have been executed, something I`m sure would have happened if it had been WW2 instead.

Johnny Micheal Spann


This man was killed because of John Phillip Walker Lindh.

Trial

On February 5, 2002, Walker was indicted by a federal grand jury on ten charges, including conspiring to support terrorist organizations and conspiring to murder Americans. The charges carried three life terms and 90 additional years in prison. On February 13, 2002, he pleaded "not guilty" to all ten charges. .

To forestall this possibility, Michael Chertoff, the head of the criminal division of the Justice Department, directed the prosecutors to offer Walker a plea bargain: He would plead guilty to two charges - serving in the Taliban army and carrying weapons.( Jane couldn't carry the weapon, so she sat on it.) He would also have to consent to a gag order that would prevent him from making any public statements on the matter for the duration of his twenty-year sentence, and he would have to drop claims that he had been mistreated or tortured by U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan and aboard two military ships during December 2001 and January 2002. In return, all the other charges would be dropped.

Walker accepted this offer. On July 15, 2002, he entered his plea of guilty to the two remaining charges. The judge asked Walker to say, in his own words, what he was admitting to. "I plead guilty," he said. "I provided my services as a soldier to the Taliban last year from about August to December. In the course of doing so, I carried a rifle and two grenades. I did so knowingly and willingly knowing that it was illegal." On October 4, 2002, Judge T.S. Ellis formally imposed the sentence: 20 years without parole.

Walker's attorney, James Brosnahan, said Walker would be eligible for release in 17 years, with good behavior. This is because, although there is no parole under federal law, his sentence could be reduced by 15 percent, or three years, for good behavior. In addition, Walker agreed to cooperate "fully, truthfully and completely" with both military intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the terrorism investigation, and any profits Walker might make from telling his story will be taken by the government.

Of the 58,000 + who died in Vietnam, how many did Hanoi Jane send to the grave? I guess you have to be a senator, or a B!tch actress, to avoid prosecution???

Have you read Robin Moore's book "Hunt for Bin Laden"? That was an eyeopener for me on Mike Spann, he didn't die right away. Interrogated and tortured first according to Moore.

I don't recall those details in the press.
