Sure. It is on tape that an America citizen expressed an opinion. What about the other statements he made to the FBI in which he directly contrasted those comments by saying that he had grown disillussioned with his movement after the horror of 9/11 and that he yearned to be free of what he now saw as a murderous clique?

Oh, but I see, it isn't the FBI interview that they suppressed that matters - only the brief soundbite pumped out by CNN.

You really ARE clueless, aren't you?

From Newsweek:

Walker, who suffered a gunshot wound, starvation and near-drowning when the basement of the fortress was flooded, was one of about 80 Taliban supporters to survive a vicious, weeklong battle that left a CIA agent and hundreds of foreign fighters dead. Shortly after his capture last weekend, Walker identified himself as an American citizen and told a NEWSWEEK reporter that he had come to Afghanistan to help the Taliban build a “pure Islamic state.” In a subsequent interview with CNN from his hospital bed, Walker described himself as a “jihadi”, a fighter of holy wars, and said that he had received combat training at a camp in Afghanistan where Osama bin Laden appeared several times. Before joining the war in Afghanistan, Walker said he had fought alongside Pakistani forces in Kashmir, the disputed region between India and Pakistan. According to Northern Alliance sources, he has now been taken into custody by soldiers from the U.S. Special Forces

Go ahead; keep defending him, but do NOT bother quoting the United States Constitution to us.

*sigh* Try to keep up; no evidence has been ruled in or out yet.
