John Walker Lindh met Osama Bin Laden before September 11th.
In any case, I don't think that we need fine distictions here. He served with al-Qaeda, he participated in at least one military action where an American was killed, that's good enough for me.
The only real question, from my point of view, would be if it would be better to have blown his brains across the Afghan dirt and dumped him into an unmarked grave (a good way of allowing his culpable parents to suffer for their sins as well) or to bring him back to the United States for a proper lynching. In my mind there is no question that he deserved to die, and to suffer while dying, and that those who helped him get where he was (his parents, the teachers at 'alternative' schools, various Imams and other Moslems) deserve to suffer in some way as well, either through the agony of never knowing what happened to him or through the guilt of knowing that they drove him down a road which led to his very just death.
My only comfort, when it comes to John Walker Lindh, is knowing that he will suffer horrible torment for all eternity. But, quite frankly, even that is much too good for him.

he participated in at least one military action where an American was killed And so did a lot of Germans and Japanese in the 1940's. Should we have tortured and killed all of them?
I find you to be barbaric, and I am a proud conservative.

Being "comforted" by the idea that someone will suffer "horrible torment for all eternity"........

Further proof that Christians are vermin and human debris.
