It has now become an annual ritual, as predictable as an eclipse: Frank Lindh and Marilyn Walker come out before the media to extol the virtues of their son, Suleyman al-Faris, also known as Abdul Hamid. Don’t recognize the names? Perhaps you may remember him by his real name — John Walker Lindh (”Jihad Johnny”), the American Taliban.
This year is no exception, and Frank Lindh and Marilyn Walker want to talk again to anyone who’ll listen, in an effort to get their son out of federal prison. This year, the story has been picked up by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, our friends over at Democracy Now!, the Marxist platform for all things anti-American. Naturally, they paint a distorted picture of the events leading up to the day when Jihad Johnny was captured fighting alongside the Taliban shortly after 9/11, and was subsequently sentenced to prison.

Amy Bin Goodman still standing up for a convicted traitor captured on the field of battle in a time of war.
Too bad Campean and Ramos couldn't have been pardoned by el presidente Bush, but he had other priorities: like keeping the borders open and lightly guarded. How else could the drugs and the bad guys get in?
Just like Motel 6: "We'll leave a light on for you!"
He should have had a bullet in his head and be buried in an unmarked grave IMHO. He was worse than an enemy combatant, he was a traitor fighting his own country and should have been hanged after questioning.
Amy Goodman will suck up to any enemy cause if she thinks it will double her nightly viewers to four dozen instead the usual two.
If Jihad Johnny is such an American hero, where did he get that bullet wound? I guess he was fighting the Taliban and that’s when he got shot right? Or did the American forces accidently shoot him. I think if he wants to be a real American hero, we should give him a .45 with one round in the chamber and allow him to take the heros way out...
"..After learning that his father was a homosexual, John Walker Lindh dropped his father’s surname and took his mother’s maiden name as his last name. Walker was thunderstruck—and sickened by his father’s lifestyle choice. One of the things Walker found in his brief sojourn with Islam was a condemnation of homosexuality..."
John Walker Lindh had little chance of not being screwed up! I guess this is daddy's attempt to make it right.
Hypocrisy Now ? Is that on before or after All Things Distorted ?
Amy Goodman is a suicidal Liberal who hates her nation.
She needs to find out what the diversity-loving Iranians will do with a “progressive” Liberal woman.
