John Walker Lindh, who is serving a 20-year sentence for helping the Taliban, may have been attacked by one or more white supremacists at a federal prison in this desert community northeast of Los Angeles, it was reported Thursday. White Supremacists? Isn't Lindh white? Well, nobody said the "supremacists" were an intelligent bunch. Or maybe this was a lie.

"There are plenty of men who have been sent to jail for traffic tickets or possession of pot, who are now DEAD, from AIDS, or from defending themselves against rapists, because people like you think it's funny to get raped."That's a TAD oversimplistic, isn't it??

"Walker Lindh remains safely housed at Victorville" So, how come if he is "safely housed" he gets attacked? The headlines SHOULD read: Walker Lindh's REMAINS are safely housed at Victorville!

(03-06) 09:10 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI said Thursday it was investigating an attack by an inmate on John Walker Lindh, who is imprisoned for helping the Taliban in Afghanistan.
"There was an assault and we have a pending investigation," FBI spokesman Ed Cogswell said here. He said he couldn't comment on the details of an ongoing probe.
Another law enforcement source speaking on condition of anonymity said Lindh was uninjured.
"It was a minor incident, a prison fight. He got a little scraped up, but he's fine. One guy was picking on him," said this source, speaking on condition of anonymity. The source said it wasn't possible to immediately provide information on Lindh's attacker.

So you are in favor of rape? Disgusting. Yep, I'm just a disgusting human being, Arthur. I think this is the least of the stuff that should happen to Lindh.

Bill of Rights
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
I daresay that our prison system, with its regular horrid abuse of inmates by other inmates, contravenes the Bill of Rights. No matter what you think of a particular inmate and his treason.

So you are in favor of rape? Disgusting.Capriole being in favor Johnny Taliban getting raped in prison disgusts you? Putupon not only wants him raped, but raped daily a HIV+ convict nicknamed "Mr. Ed", now you can be real disgusted.

One thing I've noticed about the "anti-WOD" crowd: They have a tendency to confuse FEDERAL crimes with STATE. I have no reason to believe there are any inmates in Federal prison for simple pot possession--and certainly none for traffic tickets.

I am sure that "white supremacists" would be inclined to target some guy like Lindh, who has been fraternizing with "dark persons."

"I don't know anything about an attack," Harris said. "We would be concerned if my client would be in danger."You know this guy is a lawyer. Note the use of the 'royal' WE.

So instead of bitching Illbay what are you doing about it ? Clearly you have a problem with this incident so take up the cause of prison reform .
Certainly the United States has enough faults to keep you busy so when you have finished with prison reform you can effect a change in another short coming .
