He must be getting legal advice from Ramsey Clark

In another day and time, lindh the traitor, would have been hung form the neck until dead.

His father, should be grateful that the son still lives.

I am a peaceful person, not given to violence, but I could shoot lindh in the head..I could..he is a TRAITOR.

Be thankful, homo-father, that the USA has become so pussy-fied. If it were my choice, the father would be mourning (or suing, as liberals do) the death of his son.

This is part of the reason why Pres. Bush should've listened to Ann Coulter on the matter.

If John Walker Lindh would've been executed, it would've put a damper on lots of traitor wannabes.

Water balloons....or better.You have some of the lunatics up there too....
I can't go anywhere near the City or the East Bay....no way.

"...The father of an American jailed for fighting alongside the Taliban...said on Thursday...'The...imprisonment of John Lindh was - and is - a human rights violation,' Frank Lindh told the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco..."

So this a--hole wants congratulations because his spawn is a traitor? He ought to be 'imprisoned' too!

[John Lenin]

"..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.

The father knows this is the real cause of his son's imprisonment and the media has not mentioned the fact that Johnny Jihad's father left his mom for another man.

What torture, you ask?

On approximately December 7, Mr. Lindh was transferred by air to Camp Rhino south of Kandahar. During the flight, he was blindfolded and bound with plastic cuffs so tight that his hands turned blue. Soldiers transporting him threatened him with death and torture.

Upon arrival at Camp Rhino, Mr. Lindh's clothes were cut off him, his hands and feet were again shackled, and he was bound tightly with duct tape to a stretcher. Still blindfolded, completely naked, he was then placed in a metal shipping container. Press photographs of that container are attached as Ex. C.

Despite the extreme cold of Afghanistan nights in December, there was no heat source, lighting or insulation in the container. After some time, one blanket was placed over Mr. Lindh and another was put under the stretcher. Because of the extreme cold, the position in which he was bound, and the pain from the tightness of his shackles and his untreated wounds, Mr. Lindh slept little if at all during that period of time.

These conditions remained essentially the same for the following two to three days. At that point, still blindfolded, Mr. Lindh was taken in a state of complete exhaustion from the shipping container to a tent. When his blindfold was removed, he was greeted by an FBI agent who was facing him. When Mr. Lindh asked for a lawyer, he was told that there were no lawyers there. Mr. Lindh believed that the only way to escape the torture of his current circumstance was to do whatever the agent wanted. It as at this point that Mr. Lindh allegedly voluntarily waived of his right to remain silent and his right to counsel and answered questions by the FBI interrogator. After being interrogated by the agent, the conditions of Mr. Lindh's captivity did gradually begin to improve, and on approximately December 14, he was taken from Camp Rhino to the USS PELELIU. Only then did he receive needed medical attention, including surgery for his wounds.

But, maybe the truth needs to be said twice..

John Walker Lindh should be publicly hanged from the neck until he is dead. Then his body should be buried in an unmarked grave at the nearest prison.

News flash...Mr. Lindh gave up his right as soon as he left the United States. The Constitution does not apply to Foreign Agents fighting in Foreign lands. Also, since he was not a lawful combatant he is not covered by Geneva Conventions. The time he was back on U.S. Territory he had the rights of an American citizen.

In other words we did him a favor instead of sending him to GITMO

[nothingnew]

He showed a photo of his son’s body strapped to a stretcher at a military base in southern Afghanistan.

Yep...strapped to a stretcher...that's real torture...kind'a like most hospitals do here.

I want every hospital in the U.S.A. to be investigated for torture...NOW!!

At least he did not have to jump off the top of the burning WTC.

[Joe Boucher]

Yeah, he left his wife and children to persue a homosexuel affair with some other guy.
No wonder Lindh has serious problems.
That has to be a real upper for a young boy.

[SAMS]

"...he was treated in a way that is shameful to our nation and its ideals"

No, a$$hole, picking up a gun and shooting at your fellow Americans, especially during a time of war, is shameful.

[DAC22]

"said Lindh, an attorney at Pacific Gas & Electric"


Add "goof ball liberal from the San Fransico area"

[Jackson57]

Hell, I was treated worse than that as a fraternity pledge in college. Boo Frickin' Hoooo.

[bill1952]

Not just plotting.
He was captured in arms.
