"Please don't kill me"

Can you imagine the self-control required of our Marines with this guy?

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Lindh was told by a Marine to shut up, a response delivered with an expletive, according to the motion filed Thursday.

That would have been "SHUT THE F*** UP!"

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

The Defense lawyer is stupid if he wants this Marine to testify. Does he really want the Marine to state his opinion of Johnny Bin Walker. It doesn't seem very smart legally, to call as a witness for your case, someone who is hostile to your case and who probably has an incredibly bad (and justified) opinion of this Junior Benedict Arnold.

Oh boo hoo! Someone talked mean to the widdle tewwowist.

Assuming I believe this story, I just wonder what his terrorist buddies would think of him begging for his life while their comrades commit suicide. He should be thankful he wasn't shot on the spot.

[clintonh8r]

I can't understand why he passed up a chance to become a martyr.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He should get a medal.

[crystalk]

Some Muslim he is, he should have been pleading for martyrdom and his 72 virgins, not pleading to infidels to spare his life. Obviously, he needs to be sent back to the hate madrassas, they didn't convert him all the way yet.

[Paradox]

Those guys have alot of self control. The least damage I would have done to the guy, would be to have p*ssed on him. Then maybe have huge plateful of bacon, eat it, and smear the "processed residue" on him. Just for starters.

Two things in this article don't ring true:

(1) I cannot imagine a US Marine in battlefield conditions uterring an expletive.

(2)I can't imagine a traitor taking up arms to kill fellow Americans would be concerned someone might actually kill him.

Where are the loving parents? Haven't heard from them in a while.

"Please don't kill me,"

Something that the Marines in Beirut, U.S. Navy Petty Officer Stedham, Air Force airmen in the Khobar Towers, sailors on the USS Cole, and his CIA interrogators during the prison riot never had a chance to say.

My best regards to the Marine guards who used incredible restraint and professionalism in handling this "waste". I would have probably lost it and killed him with my bare hands, given the chance.

[ZULU]

The biggest mistake made in that operation was to bring back this traitor alive. As soon as he was recognized as an American, they should have blown him away and dumped the body - just another unidentified corpse, among thousands, in the Islamic hell that is Afghanistan.

*BARF ALERT* on this post.

"Please don't kill me"

If his "dance card" wasn't full already, lil' Johnny Taliban won't have to worry about a "date" for the next three months after having this hit the stand. Bet they're just lining up at his cell.

Due to recent demand the price has gone from one pack of cigs to three. Reservations required well in advance please!

[weegee]

The lie-yer has no business complaining about anything the marines allegedly said. Why? Because one of the defense strategies that they have already put over is that Prof J Johnny John Lennon DooDoo Jimmy Lindh Walker's actions in Afghanistan are protected under the First Amendment "free speech" provisions.

The marines were just practicing a little free speech.

[Havisham]

What's the matter with these Marines? This mom would have said and done so much worse. !@#$#@!@#$#@!

[Havisham]

John is gay, gay, gay. What straight man his age would volunteer for those conditions half the world away?

[monkeywrench]

Do they have the names of these marines? Maybe that's what the defense is really after. The excuse they're using on this is pretty lame. What do they really want?

When defense wanted to interview the prisoners at gitmo (a different lame reason), I wondered the same thing. I figured that was to pass info back and forth.
