John Walker Lindh: Detainee #001 In The Global War On Terrorism Will Be Released In Two Years

Foreign Policy: John Walker Lindh, Detainee #001 in the Global War On Terror, Will Go Free In Two Years. What Then?

In leaked correspondence from prison, the ‘American Taliban’ refuses to renounce terrorism, says he wants to move to Ireland.

On Nov. 25, 2001, two CIA officers discovered a bearded 19-year-old English speaker among a group of captured Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.

The bedraggled teen stood out. “Irish? Ireland?” a CIA officer asked the prisoner, who gave no reply.

He turned out to be an American. And hours later, one of his CIA interrogators was killed when the captured Taliban prisoners staged an uprising.

Photographed naked and bound, California-born John Walker Lindh became detainee #001 in the global war on terrorism and dubbed the “American Taliban.” Branded a traitor and terrorist back home, he was convicted of supporting the Taliban and sentenced to 20 years in prison in a media firestorm that captured the zeitgeist of the post-9/11 era.

A shame they did not kill him when they first got their hands on him.

John Walker Lindh had a hard life.

He grew up in Marin county, which is in the Shadow of the Valley of Death San Fran Sicko.

Supposedly John walked in on his father having MSM.

John's parents divorced.

You have The several protestant denomination that have synods that accept and now promote gay living.

Is it a shock that John might go to a mosque?

That said, there are many ways to resist bad people without killing people.

For example gays are intensely angered when they have gay marriage, are tolerated, but people still think they are wrong and have poor ways.


"In 1976, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church declared that “homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church" (1976-A069). Since then, faithful Episcopalians have been working toward a greater understanding and radical inclusion of all of God’s children."

The episcopal church organization simply will not have a live and let live policy.

"The Virginia Supreme Court on Thursday ruled for the Episcopal Church in a bitter, multimillion-dollar property dispute with a conservative congregation that had left the denomination over the Bible’s view of homosexuality and other issues.


When the a major denomination does something like that John Walker Lindh makes sense; he is not right; he is wrong, but he makes sense.
The panel affirmed a lower court’s decision that the 3,000-member congregation, which voted in 2006 to leave the Episcopal Church, did not have the right to keep the sprawling property known as the Falls Church. "

"He'll make his way back to whatever country he wants and the cycle will continue. "

Maybe. Saudi Arabia will take him? It has been said their deradicalization program is a sham.

Yemen might take him easily. He'll go native and have an Arabic name. If he mixes with the wrong people, a Seal team or a drone will visit him.

Having an Arabic, the public might not know that he was whacked, unless the government or somebody advertises it.

I wonder if his parents visited him, wrote him or sent him a care package. If they didn't, there will be nigh a zero % chance of him reintegrating into American society. He was not really integrated from age 16 on anyway.

When he was interviewed or there was tape of him ran, he talked in a staccato Arabic way in English. It seems affected at 1st blush, but it could have been real.

What are the chances that Ireland would take him, especially since moneybags Obama is not there to bribe small countries.

They should give these guys to the Army for use as Bayonet Practice Dummies. This would give our guys their first kill, and they would see what it was like to Bayonet someone so they would know what it was like and what to expect. It would also be an opportunity to remove those that can't or won't do it based on strong moral, ethical or Religious beliefs, they really shouldn't be in the Infantry these guy's suffer the most from PTSD, also they could determine the real Psycho's, they also should be removed from regular Infantry , they're best suited in other specialty jobs. Ideas like this seem unsound, but how is it any different form drone attacking a wedding or bombing a city or Napalming Village all of which I agree with. We in the West must bring out our inner Genghis Khan, our go home, we are winning the Battles but losing the War.

Bombing a wedding?

There was a day care center in the Twin Towers.

Children Saved in Terror Attack

The jihadis physically scouted the area. They knew and they did not care.

Try physically scouting FATA.

Still the Jay's & Fred's of the world are more upset about a 'wedding' party than a day care.
