Oy vey!

He should have been shot on site. Two of our intelligence corp guys died that day, and this worm was fighting with their killers. No mercy for traitors.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Tough hop, Dad.

"Frank Lindh said his son thought he had been rescued by U.S. soldiers until he was taken into custody and tortured. "

Bovine Feces.

He'll have to wait for Hildebeast to do that.

Go back to the bathhouse Frankie.

This man has got to be kidding. He should be thankful that his son didn't get worse. I can see why the son ended up this way because his father is not wanting to deal with the reality of the situation.

"In simple terms, this is the story of a decent and honorable young man embarked on a spiritual quest," said Frank Lindh

Frank tolerated young Johnny's "spiritual quest." Now he is suffering the consequences for his parental negligence. Hopefully he's learned something about moral relativism. Sure it's fun, until someone loses a son.

[Rummyfan]

Maybe if you had been more of a father, and hadn't left your son's mother for a MAN your son wouldn't have turned out such an emotional basket case and turned to the Moon God Cult for solace.

If my kid goes on a spiritual quest away from the Jesus I raised him on, it's on him.

You reap what you sow.

[Howie66]

I say that we put that little mutt back on the street.

Just for the sake of grins, I think that the "release point" should be a street just outside the main gates of either Fort Hood, Camp Pendleton or somwhere in Baghdad.

The father is the reason this kid did what he did.
The father bears responsibility for the kid becoming a civilization-hating fanatic.

[HEY4QDEMS]

This father should consider the fact that his ahole of a son didn't get executed a victory and STFU.

"In simple terms, this is the story of a decent and honorable young man embarked on a spiritual quest," said Frank Lindh, swallowing back tears at times during a speech at the Commonwealth Club, a nonprofit organization.

This guy should fire himself as his son's publicist because he is taking the wrong line if he wants to get the kid out early. He doesn't seem to know that a phrase like "honorable young man" makes Bush administration officials think of an entirely different category of men, like Mike Spann for instance. The best thing Frank Lindh can do for his son is to hire a seasoned, professional PR guy and then STFU!

[EricT.]

IMO, he is getting off lightly already. There was a time that his neck would have been stretched after a short military tribunal.

[nina0113]

He already GOT clemency - he's alive. Mike Spann isn't.

Let me think about it for a sec...

NO!

Rot in jail, traitor.

[rockabyebaby]

NO WAY, no clemency, this dirtbag should rot in jail til he takes his last breath or perhaps we can put him in line in CA, they seem to be getting rid of a lot of scumbags over there. Too bad we can't put gigilo, teddy hiccup, nagin, hitlery, etc. etc. on an island somewhere and just forget about 'em!

[BusiDad]

This is another example of the left's hatred for U.S. national security and their sympothy for our enemies. Sympothy for people who wish Americans dead...

The people will not forget who stood for our safety and freedom and who aided our enemies...
