It’s not about what’s best for him. Let him rot!!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Hillary would pardon him.

How many years was Scooter Libby sentenced to?

[stevie_d_64]

Yeah, sure...

Lemme put that in a book of Shiite that ain’t gonna happen...

I love the audacity of this kid...

[I see my hands]

"best he could do amid the political climate immediately after Sept. 11"

It's ok, John, after the next terror attack the political climate will again match your sentence.

[stockpirate]

John Walker Lindh is a traitor to his country, and should have been hung.

I wonder if he killed any of our solders in combat?

"We love our son very much, he was wrongly accused when he was found in Afghanistan."

Oh yeah, Afghanistan was at the top of my vacation list back in 2001.

Nah - I doubt that Jihad Johnny would ever be interested in the female sex - not that Nancy is, you understand. Elton John? Maybe!

[AU72]

He’ll have to wait for a ‘rat President.

[SE Mom]

No.

[prophetic]

Well if it were me I'd sure reduce his prison term immediately by 19 Years & 11 months -

I'd just simply have him executed by firing squad within a month and have his head impaled on a stake in front of the White House as a warning to all terrorists.

[trimom]

“could end up spending many more years in an australian prison as well.”

Doesn’t that just put a smile on my face?

These people are worse than just the enemy. They are our citizens......and traitors.

Screw you, Lindh. You’ll get nothing and like it.

[The KG9 Kid]

John 'Abdul Hamid' Walker-Lindh should have died face down in knee-deep sewage in that Afghani prison cellar where they found him.

His philandering homosexual father should have walked into the John Muir Woods up in Marin, drunk an entire jug of Prestone ® antifreeze, and then laid down for eternal sleep as a partial apology to all Americans for his part in bringing his rotten son 'Taliban Boy' into the world.

[bannie]

In WWII we were planning on winning.

I wish we’d do that again.

[madprof98]

He should stay in jail until his parents admit what he did was wrong and accept responsibility for screwing up their kid.

Not only is that not gonna happen, but I'll bet that within a few years we'll have a Hollywood film proclaiming him (and them) great American heroes. Just watch.

[ASOC]

Hicks had spent 5 years in the hellhole, err, cruel, ah, mildly annoying GITMO.

Since Hicks gained so much weight, it will take him years, yes, years to loose the weight. Thus, the lighter sentance.

[Garvin]

Johnny "Mike" Spann

[TheKidster]

If we hold our own border agents as political prisoners in deference to Mexico we certainly can’t free an actual criminal and traitor!
Since it makes more sense to let Campeon and Ramos out of prison and keep Johnny Taliban in prison I’m assuming Bush will let him go and transfer the border agents to Gitmo.

[ozzymandus]

I heard his lawyer and his father whining on the radio. It’s all Bush’s fault, and anyway, johnny taliban didn’t kill any Americans, according to them.
