"Well, if they don't prosecute Al Gore for sedition, is it really fair for the US government to beat up JWL?"

That's like saying, "since OJ Simpson got a pass on murder, all killers should get a pass on murder."

Using one failure as an excuse for the next failure is not a workable approach.

Don't know who that is, but he sure needs a shave and a haircut.

Actually, at the time, I would have gladly seen Jane Fonda swing for treason. Seems a little late, now, though, although I still can't stand her.

But just because the government can't get it right sometimes, does that mean they can't get it right occasionally? No, it doesn't. Lindh did not deserve what he got, he deserved much, much more. He should be grateful.

so his father runs off with another man and now he does not know why his kid is all screwed up?

This "father" is feeling guilty for himself.

"Correct. He's fortunate that 20 years was all he got."

I'm outraged that 20 years is all he got. He should have gotten 20 seconds in front of a firing squad.

Frank Lindh furthermore complained that the American troops who captured his son treated him badly by cuffing him with plastic ties and leaving him stripped naked with all of the other Taliban prisoners.

Muslim girls are for precreation and muslim boys are for recreation, why would he complain? Fag dad and the nut didn't fall far from the nut bowl.

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1980, didn't the United States help the Taliban by giving it arms to fight the Soviet Union?

No, it didn't. The Taliban didn't exist until after the Soviet withdrawal.

When the Taliban took power and there was a split among the ranks, the Taliban was our "friend" and the Northern Alliance was our "enemy."

When was that? Never that I heard of.

However, Lindh did have a defense to the charge of treason: when he fought against American forces, he was no longer a U.S. citizen, since he had been deprived of citizenship, by act of Congress, when he joined the Taliban.

You left out a few lines of the poem and I didn't know it was written by Scott.
