Why John Walker Lindh Should Be Freed-- And Why He Won't Be
« on: January 27, 2009, 08:21:46 PM »
Some people think Johnny Taliban or Rat Boy should be freed. I say execute that mother****er.

Here are some replies. Lot of them are moonbats.

Quote
Walker Lindh, contrary to your assertion, deserves no punishment whatsoever. He belonged to the Taliban at a time when the US government was providing that organization with foreign aid via the Afghan government it owned and operated. He had nothing other than stupid parents who permitted and financed his foolish religious escapade. If he showed no contrition with the 911 attack, he only exhibited something he had in common with millions of Americans who had no sympathy for NYC in 2001. So if we are going to punish him on that basis, we need to apply the same justice to the red necked, right wing Christian freak-slobs who inhabit the bible belts of this nation and hate NYC.

Christians do not engage in terrorism as a whole and condone it. They were quick to condemn ya ****ing moron.  :bird:

Quote
On the law and the facts Mr. Lindh committed no crime. He can thank the press and Ashcroft for creating an atmosphere of hate and revenge, having called him scum and a traitor, deserving the death penalty. The plea agreement was both a recognition of the government's weak case and the defendant's concern about a poisoned jury pool.

He was a kid, like many others who did stupid things in the pursuit of spiritual connections. 9/11 changed everything? No, we just forgot the stumps in our eyes.

9/11 or not, he was part of a terrorist group. Is that clear enough for ya? Moron!  :bird:

Your full of methane... if you're just average, you fart 5 lbs of methane per day. I'd say you're doing more than your share. Lindl should have been shoot for treason. The SW Border Patrol fiasco... should end now... with the two Patrol men, now in jail, released with a million dollars compenstion each. And that drug running Mex either put in Gitmo or shiped to southern Venezuala... not compensation... oh give him a few tortillias, on second thought corn is too expensive a/c the ethanol fiasco.

Someone with reason in a sea of insanity.

Quote
I love how you people are so enraged by Lindh, but somehow, like Bush (our worst president ever), it's okay to not have Osama in custody almost 6 years later.

And as far as "we have people" pursuing him, that's a joke. If we wanted Osama, we'd have him. Don't fool yourselves. Instead, we invaded a country that was by far the weakest link in the "Axis of Evil."

Remember bin Laden? That dude who masterminded the 9/11 attacks? He'd be in jail by now if he grew up in California and God-forbid, traveled to Pakistan. Those damn Californians!

Well, hey, as long as we got some 20-year-old kid in a Federal Supermax, we've surely made strides against terrorism. Right?

P.S. For the "Ironmans" of the world, why are you so scared to use your real name? Very immature; should be "Scaredman."

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

My only problem is that he will be released.  He beat the system, he will be in his mid-forties when he gets out.  That agent he murdered during the uprising doesn't get to see his family again.  No, Walker met every pre-condition the constitution sets out for treason.  He deserved to be shot.

This Poster is attempting to rewrite history. The US never supported a taliban Afghan Govt. The Taliban ,primarily Pakistani came to Afghanistan & filled the power void left when the Russians pulled out of Afghanistan after something like 10 yrs of battle for control.

John Lindh was captured with forces that were engaged ln direct confrontation with US & coalition forces in Afghanistan.

I recommend he be allowed to go bungee jumping without the bungee.

But that wouldn't be environmentally friendly.  The snakes and the scorpions would hurt themselves on the concrete trying to strike his Godforsaken ass.

According to the warnings on my passport, enlistment in a military body engaged in hostilities against the US invalidates the passport, and revokes citizenship.  Without citizenship, Jihad Johnny bin Slapnuts is nothing more than another Illegal Enemy Combatant, according to the Geneva Convention, and should have been dealt with accordingly - with a single pistol shot to the back of the head the moment they scooped his sorry ass up.
