Flanked by his lawyers and guards and dressed in a green prisoner jumpsuit, his hair closely cut and beard shaved, John Walker Lindh said quietly "I understand" when four charges against him were read at the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia. Lindh was charged in a criminal complaint with conspiring to kill Americans abroad and providing support to two terrorist groups including al Qaeda. He was also accused of engaging in prohibited transactions with the deposed Taliban government that harbored bin Laden. But outside the court his father proclaimed Johnny Jihad's innocence. "John loves America. We love America. John did not do anything against America," Frank Lindh said.
 | We can tell he loves his country. We could see it in his eyes when he was hanging out with his buds at Qala-i-Jangi, when they killed Mike Spann.
Ow. That zit looks really painful. |
