#2 I'm sure Yale has a full ride scholarship waiting for him.

#3 "He is an extremely well-liked, well-respected, model inmate in the system by the authorities as well as by the inmates," said Syed, now executive director of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California. - "When will American wake up and see that we already have been invaded. Get ready to break out the shotguns and dogs boys, the south is ready to take this country back."

#4 Lindh's father, Frank Lindh, said his son was well-meaning but misguided, never taking up arms against America or joining Al Qaeda in its destructive quest.

He traveled to the biggest jihad hot spots in the world; he intended to take up arms. He was involved in the death of a US agent. He supported the jihadists that operated the 9/11 plot.

He should have fried in lard.

#5 I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I read this. Yes indeed release him and publically announce the day he will get out and where he will be living. That way other Americans can stop by and show Johnny Jihad how much we respect him. I did find it sad that he was in a medium security prison. Most cons in medium security wouldn't risk an upgrade to slap little Johnny around. If I were the guards I would make sure Johnny gets some additional charges and free upgrade to Folsom. That way he could earn the respect of the hardcore criminals (by becoming their bitch).

#6 "And when you get out, if you get out, there'll be a little old man with a shotgun at the gate waiting to say hello."

#7 Well he met OBL twice which doesn't jibe well with the claim that he never meant to join al-Qaida. But even if the claim were true that he only wanted to join the Taliban before 9/11, it's a pretty awful decision to make and it's sickening to hear his supporters describe this a some sort of 'spiritual journey.' Let's be clear about what that entailed, he went to a poor ravaged country to fight in a savage civil war on behalf of a fanatical religious government looking to impose their totalitarian beliefs ethinic minorities (the Northern Alliance).

#8 I didn't know he drank. Is he a bar keep?

#9 But Lindh's family and supporters say he deserves a break ...

Hookay. Arm? Leg? Neck?

Hookay. Arm? Leg? Neck?

Both hands at the wrist, both ankles at the joint, both knees and elbows will do for a start.

#11 The CNN guy who was there at his capture has kept mum about Johnny Walker for some time but recently he grew disgusted by the parents rewriting Johnny's history that he came out and said what he really thought of Johnny Walker (hint, Al Queda hardcore).

#12 Note to Daddy Frank: 1) STFU, and 2) If you are stil alive when Junior gets out, you might spirit him away before he has his 'coming out' party realized upon him by those of us still able.

#13 It is difficult to envision a situation where all those hotheads in Washington can turn around and recognize the kid got a raw deal and should be released.

Pure comedy gold. Pick a better lawyer next time, not some bleeding heart from Marin....

#14 "His story is indeed a story that needs to come out, and needs to be shared with the world," said Shakeel Syed, who served as a religious adviser to Lindh in prison.

Sure. I'll read it.
Long as it's his obituary...

#15 Both hands at the wrist, both ankles at the joint, both knees and elbows will do for a start.

Look, make up your mind. Either go full-up by starting at each fingertip and working through the individual knuckles with a ball peen, then progressively through the wrists & elbows. Ditto the legs. Or just go for the neck and get it over with.

I suppose we could go for the big kahuna and start with the ball peen and end with the neck (mebbe a stop-off with the ball peen to visit his DNA factory). In fact, it might be fun.

#18 Nimble, I don't know where I found the story original. I just assume that sort of stuff came by way of Rantburg these days.
