Taliban Johnny forgets what country he was unfortunately born in:

The lawyer and parents of American-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh asked President Bush on Wednesday to commute his 20-year prison term, citing the case of an Australian man who was sentenced to less than a year for aiding terrorism.

Lindh, 26, was captured in Afghanistan in November 2001 by American forces sent to topple the Taliban after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He was charged with conspiring to kill Americans and support terrorists but pleaded guilty to lesser offenses, including carrying weapons against U.S. forces.

Lindh's lawyer and father said the lighter sentence given to Australian David Hicks should be reflected in Lindh's case.

"It is a question of proportionality. It is a question of fairness, and it is a question of the religious experience John Walker Lindh had," attorney James Brosnahan said. "And it was not in any way directed at the United States."

Lindh converted to Islam and went to Afghanistan to fight for the Taliban against the Northern Alliance, which received U.S. backing.

To John Walker Lindh, to his family, and especially to his lawyer I'll only say this...

...tell it to the wife and kids of Mike Spann.

And, Hicks was convicted in Australian court, you were convicted in America.

So enjoy your 20 years of good ol' fashioned American federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Try not to put your mouth on any open sores, will you?

Ah, what am I saying, you're everyone's bitch in there.

1 This is the only time in my life I wish I was a judge. I'd love to look at this prick over my desk. And don't he dare come into my court cleanly shaven wearing a suit and tie. I want him to look just like he did when arrested. For all to see when I give him the maximum sentence possible. Then off tho Pelican Bay with sand in the vaseline.

2 No wb: Last couple of days. Sure miss his bullshit. I heard he's in jail for serving unfit food at the Waffle House in Grand Isle, La. Changed the menu around without asking the owner. Menu: Waffle with pickle pigs feet instead of bacon. Turnip green syrup. Possum meat burgers with collar greens in place of lettuce. Seagull soup of the day served over grits. Watermelon pie. Baked chitterlings with glazed chicken wings. Roasted hogs head with poke salad stuffing. And for dessert stewed chicken feet served with hog head cheese. Channel 4 news said you could smell it 20 miles away and they may sue the waffle house corp. Then someone else said if he moved that menu to Harlen, N.y. he'd get rich. Maybe he's moving.

3 Latest on wb: He works for Denny's and hooters so must be very busy cooking that health menu. We'll give him another day befor we anounce that he's back in Angola for impersonating a cook.

6 I remember watching his father and mother address the televison cameras.  My thoughts were this young man evolved via the stupidity of his parents.  Ergo, they should be in jail with him!  Next to his cell, let's throw in the "flying Imans" for a little R&R.  And while we are at it, add Nick Berg's dad for failing to teach his son how to surive in a very hostile (and very deadly) country, especially if you are a Jew!  Ok, maybe I am being too harsh:  Give them all copies of Tookie's books for comfort and understanding!  Oh please!

8 Wow...a liberal kid growing up to hate America and fight against it.....what were the odds.

9 Now they decide to be parents.
 
Where the hell were they the two years he was off missing in Pakistan/Afghanistan?
 
Did not seem too concerned then.  This one guy goes missing a couple of days in Iran and the family is all over it.  But not Johnny's.
 
Message to parents.  It is not OK to let your kid run off to Pakistand to go find himself.

11 "...and it is a question of the religious experience that John Walker Lindh had..."
 
That seems to be a pretty big slip of the tongue to me. I think the lawyer pretty much equated having an Islamic religious experience with joining the global jihad without realizing what he was saying. The two are more or less the same anyway...
 
Give this dickhead life in prison in general population.

12 Unfortunately, it won't make a difference. The muslim prision population will protect him. Just another prision gang,  protecting their own. To them, he's mujahadin.

Michael: Never seen a man I didn't like. Then they have to open their mouths.

14 The pricks parents should be in jail with him. That is after sterilization to prevent the spread of traitorism.

15 RJ: You coming with some good stuff. Where do you live?

16 Actually, I think Hicks was convicted before a US military tribunal. There's a separate deal taking place permitting him to serve his sentence in an Australian prison.
