John Lindh did not need to be tortured to tell the American forces where he had been and what he had seen, the father said. I cannot fathom why the military felt it necessary to humiliate him in this way.Making virtue outta necessity, eh? Taliban Johnny was caught red-handed in Afghanistan fighting US troops. The Bozo couldn't lie (Taqiyya in the islamic tradition) even if he wanted to.

I do not want to dwell today on the militarys mistreatment of my son, but I will say categorically that he was treated in a way that is shameful to our nation and its ideals, said Lindh, an attorney at Pacific Gas & Electric.

A 'father' who wasn't there for much of his kid's upbringing (or so I heard recently on a local Bay Area talk show) is now concerned about the treatment of his "son"?
Oh please, Dad , spare us the tears.

Frank Lindh "..When Frank Lindh left his family in 1997, it was to move in with a male companion. Yep. ... The man with whom Lindh lived has since been described as "a family friend," but other family friends say the men lived as a gay couple.
It would take a specialist in family issues to map the constellations of feelings and problems that would describe John Walker's path toward Islam in 1997, but sources close to the family say the father's turn of life from married man to modern gay man startled and flustered the 16-year-old.
Given the pummeling that the Walkers and marvy Marin County have taken from the national press over their wayward son, you can't blame the old man for wanting to suppress reporting on his sexuality. ...
Luke says: Prager often blasts the news media for reporting gossip about people's private sexual lives. Today he blasted the media for not reporting gossip.
Journalist Ed Walsh writes on Medianews.org: "I thought San Francisco Examiner columnist PJ Corkery did a great job reporting with the Johnny Walker/Lindh item on Tuesday. Since everyone is speculating about why Walker would convert to Islam and eventually join the Taliban, I think it is germane that Walker's conversion to an extremely antigay religion came at the same time his father separated from his mother to be in a gay relationship. Walker signing up with the Taliban is like the son of a Jewish man signing up with the Nazis..."

Father says American Taliban tortured So?
To: voletti
a photo of his sons body strapped to a stretcher...John Lindh did not need to be tortured...the military felt it necessary to humiliate him in this way. It is always amazing how the left twists words, when it is to their advantage. Humiliation = Torture, that is the message being delivered here. Sorry, sell it someplace else. The kid is lucky to be alive.

I read, also, that the father said that "he was proud of his son." Now I can understand him saying that he loved his son, but "proud of him?" For what? He's proud that his son joined a murderous cult and was plotting to murder other American citizens? What a sick creep.

If one of my sons did what John Lindh did, I'd be too embarrassed to say anything.
To: voletti
If this so-called "father" had raised his son correctly, this wouldn't be happening. Sorry Pops! Your offspring is an anti-American idiot. Get over it.

So? Exactly! He should have been either shot or hung. He is a traitor!
