Parents of 'American Taliban' ask Bush to free him

Quote
   SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The parents of American-born Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh are asking President George W. Bush to set their son free before Bush leaves office next month.

Lindh was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty in 2002 to serving in the Taliban army, which violated U.S. economic sanctions against Afghanistan at that time.

At a news conference in San Francisco Wednesday, Lindh's mother, Marilyn Walker, asked the president to show mercy during the Christmas season by commuting her son's sentence.

Lindh initially asked for a commutation in 2004 and his lawyers have renewed the request each year.

The U.S. Department of Justice has never acted on the petition and a spokeswoman didn't immediately return a telephone call.

Oh boo fracking hoo!
I suppose the delusional mums and pops are ok with the fact that wonderboy was at the very least indirectly involved in the MURDERS of innocent people.
Maybe Bush should pardon the family spawn so he can bring his Sharia law home to mommy.

This idiot should say his prayers that I'm not the President.  I'd extend his damn sentence instead of commuting it.

If this guy is ever freed, he will kill innocent Americans. Serving the Taliban is NOT the action of a misguided youth, its the action of a murderous dog.

I actually had it on WMAL here in D.C. this morning and the morning show guys were taking calls form people about this topic and there was actually some clown arguing for why this POS should be freed.

Yeah, he knew who he was firing upon when he saw those B-52's, F-15's and F-18's loitering over his AO. No telling how many people he gunned down personally in soccer stadiums for not adhering to the Taliban's civil codes.

Nope, it should get him the Medal of Freedom. (DU mode off)

How about they spray him down with "Obsession" and dress him in a teddy before kicking his ass out into general population at the Marion federal clink in Illinois.

They will no doubt execute that option, assuming that GWB does the honorable thing and ignore this bullshit request.

His Holyness would surely see the wisdom in releasing a misguided youth such as Lindh. After all, it's only war, right?  :whatever:

We should have saved a few of those wood chippers Saddam had for asshats like Lindh. Hanging is to good for him.
