| American Taliban's Dad Defends His Boy: I Declare Shenanigans |
| 2005-05-07 |
| I know he's just sticking up for his kid, but this article, entitled "The Crimeless Crime: The Prosecution of John Walker Lindh," is crap. He repeats the lie that we gave money to the Taliban in 2001, and he claims that John Boy went to Afghanistan to help the "Freedom Fighters," aka, the Taliban, fight off the oppressive and rapacious "Russian-backed Northern Alliance." He says John John had no idea that the Taliban had a horrendous human rights record, but later alleges he was afraid of Dostum on account of his reputation for having murdered some Taliban fighters in 1997. For such a studious guy, Lindh was only selectively well-informed. Also, Taliboy was "unimpressed" by bin Laden, yet admitted that he trained at an al Qaeda camp, that his "heart had become attached" to the Taliban and that every Muslim aspired to become a martyr. Spin it any way you want, Pops, but your son is a treasonous dirtbag. |

| #9 I actually have more contempt for his parents. If I recall correctly, they let him enroll in a Yemeni madrassah at a very young age. Since his beleif system was partially formed at a time when his parents should have been protecting him, they're at least 50% to blame. They need to be in jail more than he does. They're trying to mask their failure by transferring elsewhere. |

| #7 Maybe he and Mumia can share a cell, become bestest friends, and be made a citizen of Paris? Heck he speaks the launguage (Arabic) and hates America, what other qualifications are there? |

| #4 good. Give the ol' lefties a cause celeb to occupy their time. Yawn. He's a meaningless punk. If they want to busy themselves over him, let them. Like giving the baby your purse so you can make a phone call without being interrupted. |

| #3 If I remember correctly, Mr. and Mrs. Lindh were quoted as saying something to the effect that they didn't want to impose their own views on their son; they wanted him to learn for himself. Looks like Mr. Lindh still doesn't get the idea that parents must train up a child in the way he should go. They stood for nothing when their son was young; and so he fell for anything. Sad. |
