ON the face of it it seems like yours is a natural conclusion but sadly Americans are soft and years and years of liberal laws will ensure he will be marked as mentally unfit to stand trial. That is my theory and I dont agree but sadly this America we are (not us freepers )has alot of work to do to get over the last 30 years and sadly 9-11 may not have been enough.

little johnny jihad should be handed over to the northern alliance since in actually he is their pow....don't care what happens to him after that..but as i said on an earlier thread..no prison in the U.S. will be safe for him and if he beats the rap..too many hrs of video of him helping the enemy (U.S.) and if there are sleeper cells here, he will die a very grusome death...either way he is a dead man!!!

[Happygal]

Couple of ideas...

1. Firing squad
2. Public hanging
3. Electric chair
4. Lethal injection
5. All of the above

[A CA Guy]

Boiling water enema. Followed by an exposure to flesh eating bacteria.

[arly]

I think he should be tried then shot, our shot then tried!!

[COBOL2Java]

These guys might have an idea or two. Notice the "Italian Sausage" ad in the back, and use your imagination. :-)

He should have been treated as an Afghan citizen and treated as any other POW and left in Afghanistan. That's the worst punishment I can think of.

1. Was Walker an American citizen?
2. Did Walker fight against American troops?

A yes answer to both of those questions makes it treason punishable by death.

What Should Be Done With the Traitor?

Hang the b@stard. If we shoot him, we waste a round, lethal injection and we waste serum, electric chair we waste electricity. Hang him and we can re-use the rope.

[codebreaker]

Duct tape him to the flagpole at Ground Zero and have him watch the firefighters pulling out the bodies in the dead of winter.

Then try him in a military court..

[razorback-bert]

Put him in the general population at Rikers Island, while we decide what to do with what is left.

[knighthawk]

Drag him through the streets of New York and let the people there have his way with him... I bet he will not live for three blocks! And show it on tv to give his jihad buddies in the US and the rest of the world an impression of how we value their contribution to our society.

[ContentiousObjector]

not to rain on your lynch mob, but unless you re-write the constitution, there is no way he can be tried for treason;

a: He was with the Taliban long before Sept 11,

b: The US has not declared war against Afghanistan,

c: There is no evidence he was intimately involved with al-Qaeda or was involved in the terrorist attacks

Unless you declare war on Afghanistan and re-write the constitution to make treason retro-active, there really isn't all that much you can do to him.

Realistically, he will probably be tried on some generic federal conspircy charge, spend a few years in jail and be released and eventually pardoned by some future administration, Tokyo Rose was pardoned by President Ford.

Loss of citizenship. Usual POW treatment.

[ImpBill]

Death by hanging!

I rather like the punishment described in Edward Hale's classic story, The Man without a Country.

For any of those whose public school educations did not include reading the classics, the main character was being tried for treason and uttered the line, "D---n the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again!" As punishment, he was ordered to spend the rest of his life on naval ships, transferred at sea from one ship to another to prevent him from ever landing, with the crews ordered never to mention the United States or to provide him with any news of what was happening there.

I understand that John Walker Lindh is currently being held in a cargo container on a U.S. ship. That's a good place to keep him for the next 50 years.

[VRWC_minion]

Make him Hillary's sex slave.

The statutory punishment for treason in England from 1283 to 1867, Drawn and Quartering was a multimedia form of execution. First the prisoner was drawn to the place of execution on a hurdle, a type of sledge. (Originally he was merely dragged behind a horse.) Then he was hanged. Cut down while still alive, he was disembowelled and his entrails burned before his eyes. (Some references, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, say this step, and not dragging behind a horse, is what is meant by "drawn," but actual sentences of execution don't support this view.)

Finally the condemned was beheaded and his body cut into quarters, one arm or leg to a quarter. How exactly the quartering was to be accomplished was not always specified, but on at least some occasions horses were hitched to each of the victim's limbs and spurred in four directions. An assistant with a sword or cleaver was sometimes assigned to make a starter cut and ease the strain on the animals. The remains were often put on display as a warning to others.

[gfactor]

I say he should be tried for treason, nothing less.

was he commiting treason before 9/11?

[crystalk]

Jihads are SO exciting:

Just hear those bombshells burst!

Poor Johnny tried to find himself,

But SATAN found him first!
