Bush Admin Sold 'American Taliban' John Walker Lindh's Plea Deal As A Win For America. Now He’s Free
Daily Caller ^ | May 24, 2019 | Peter Hasson

Former President George W. Bush’s administration sold the 2002 plea deal with John Walker Lindh, an American who joined the Taliban, as a victory in the war on terror that would make the American people safer.

But 17 years later, Lindh is out of prison, and his praise for terrorists while in prison has experts concerned he might still pose a threat.

....

McNulty said the government was “quite confident that if we had gone to trial, we would have prevailed on all counts,” transcripts show.

McNulty was specifically asked if the government could have proven that Lindh conspired to kill Americans if the case had gone to trial. His answer: "Yes"

You’re correct, Shrub was never on our side, but those of us who called him shrub back then were vilified and even banned.

“Religion of peace.” That spewed out of Shrub’s mouth in the first couple of days after 9/11. He lost all credibility and the WOT at that moment. He did preside over our losing many, many of our civil rights. I guess in retrospect it was a civil rights war that was beginning. We, the people, lost that one.

You’re right; the baseless “religion of peace” comment, and the fact that mosques opened for “business as usual” on September 12th, made it clear our government had no interest in representing us.

Much of the hate speech/triggering/PC nonsense of today had its origins on 9/11, when our government and elites determined that nobody could criticize the barbarity that is Islam. Everything achieved at Tours and Lepanto had been erased by our enemies within; now some hooded terrorist represents a House district in Minnesota.

W was a deep state stooge as were the GOP nominees, McCain and Romney, who followed. While none were as bad as the RAT alternatives, all would have continued to march us on a path to Godless Globalism, albeit at a slower pace.

Especially when they refused to engage in profiling at our airports. Now we have morbidly obese Touch Sexual Area Agents groping 3 year old White girls looking for bombs.

A pity he survived prison. I’d have had him left alone with some violent gangbangers.

He’s probably off on his way right now, plotting with some of OBunghole’s former administration people.

Paying a visit to Comrade Brennan or some other subversive traitors.

They stick together, after all.
