Seems the Dems can't even agree what a traitor is.......Mac130

Bush gave them $40 million. So if JWL is in jail should GWB also be in jail?

To hell with him, he's a first-degree traitor who ought to be deported for life.

Did he ever lift a finger against the United States? I thought he only fought against the so-called "Northern Alliance" who rather suddenly and unexpectedly became our allies.

He should commute it,And then deport him to Afghanistan. Let Sharia law take care of him. I wonder if he would be stoned to death or loose his head under a curved sword. Richard shoe boy Reid should get similar treatment. These fucks eat better in prison than most homeless people. If this was ww2 and he was fighting with the Germans or Japanese as an American he would swing from a rope or face a firing squad.

Lindh is an american hero, unbeknownst to himself.. He has fought against what history will deem, the most evil and indideous threat to american life since 1800.. the bush criminal
junta.

Bottom line, he was in another place, the world away, and was caught
up with some people who became geopolitical pawns. What is the crime?
Simply being there. Well give him a peter sellers sentence then,
and like bush, pardon him until he himself becomes president and sets
things right.

he fought against an illegal invasion and what has turned out to be the mass murder of 1000's of
civilians. He was right to oppose that. He was stupid and got
caught. He should keep his dignity, and look at his sentence as
nelson mandela did his. If i'm not mistaken N.Mandela, was in
prison for raising arms against south africa.  Then Mr. Lindh is a hero in the making.

I'm sure women all over the world consider Lindh a real hero for fighting for the Taliban's right to keep women from even going to school. Yep, a HUGE hero.


He is, at most, a pawn on the chessboard. I haven't seen any reported statements from him indicating he sought to keep women in "virtual slavery" (or actual slavery for that matter). Ashcroft has been setting people free in droves after having to come clean in court and admit he has nothing on them.

Why all the hatred for this guy? Wait a minute: ysterday, it was Cat Stevens -- today the "American Taliban." Are we picking up a pattern here?

Lindh was young & stupid, but hardly a traitor.
Last I heard the Taliban is doing quite well. How many Americans have died in Afghanistan so far?

Lindh is charged with fighting against the USA in war. I speak to
that specific charge. He was right to oppose a war that has resulted
in 1000's of deaths and no markable improvement for women in post
taliban afganistan.

He went to hang out and learn about islam, and got mixed up in some
thing much bigger than he understood... america's covert war of
islamic terrorism against the people of the ex-soviet border states.

Lindh is a hero for fighting with his life on the line, against what
history shows, was a mass murder exercise leading to a failed state..
that now exports more heroin to the world than ever before.

Wow, you defender of women... i'm sure junkies and people dying of
heroin related problems the world over are overjoyed that your taxes
came around to protect women... what a faux-feminist argument you
pose.

FUCK Lindh! American hero my ass. Now, I don't think he should be given a death sentence or have to deal with Sharia law, but I do believe, he is somewhat of a traitor that should spend some years behind bars.

Frankly, i see no crime in his actions, but if you must persecute
him, then i recommend sending him to afganistan to work in
nationbuilding. Such a community service might be good for all
parties, as i sure as hell don't wanta pay for his free room and
board in the prison system.

Half of them sound like enemy collaborators.

I thought these people supposedly agreed with war in Afganistan but NOT IRAQ!  I am all confused now.

They are imploding....

SO let me get this straight. To be popular on DU, you can say WHATEVER the fuck you want, the more henious, the better?

Oh no. You can't say want you want unless they trust you. That is why this thread is so funny. They are actually attacking each other.

Typical. Didn't Lindh go to Leavenworth? Lots of vetrans there.

If you sympathize with the enemy, that makes you an enemy.

What a bunch of assholes!

The Taliban is doing good?  Right...

he fought against an illegal invasion and what has turned out to be the mass murder of 1000's of civilians. He was right to oppose that. He was stupid and got caught. He should keep his dignity, and look at his sentence as nelson mandela did his. If i'm not mistaken N.Mandela, was in prison for raising arms against south africa.

Yes, a true hero indeed

Wow
what a bunch of morons!
