I spent a good time yesterday and last night  attempting to determine if Walker still was an American citizen.

From everything I can gather Johnny Walker remains an American citizen and as such is entitled to full protection under the constitution.

This guy 'may' Walk ??

[X]

Edited to add - the good old 'conspiracy' charges will probably stick.

yep he may 'walk', but I wonder how far?

Big deal.

The guy's life aint worth a boot full of piss wheather he goes to jail or not.

Agree, but sadly he's probably going to be able to sell his "story" for a book or movie deal and make a sh!tload of bucks

Former squid,
Actually I hadn't thought of that angle but unfortunately you're right.
Johnny Boy will get a book 'AND' movie deal.

If he lives that long. If I were him, I'd find the quickest damn way out of this country. But then again if I were him, we wouldnt have this problem.

Jumpin Johnny Jihad is one of the dumbest f@#4ing people on the planet.

In the interest of protecting his civil rights, I hope he is allowed to go free so that  he may be treated to some American hospitality.

Walker and Enron get my vote for being the two most unimportant stories of the day.  They're just distractions so the American people forget that the "war" is not achieving any of its original goals.

trickshot,
forgetting Enron and Walker for the moment which original war goals are we not achieving ?

g.hound,
in jail I believe you're correct - Walker would be killed.  I'm not trying to be funny here but prisoners do tend to be patriotic.

If Walker walks ??

Simply because he 'may' not have renounced his American citizenship, that does not mean that he is free to take part in a criminal conspiracy to kill American military and government personnel.

Let me try to remember, did the Branch Davidians renounce their American citizenship?

No, but yet they were tried for basically the same thing!

And you don't have to prove that 'Jihad' Johnny pulled a trigger, just that he was part of the conspiracy of others who did!

I firmly believe that his confession will be upheld by the Courts.

Even in the unlikely event that they're not, he still made more than enough incriminating statements to the press, which will be used against him in all likelihood.

      * HOW TO LOSE CITIZENSHIP: It's almost impossible to lose U.S. citizenship without renouncing it in writing, and even then
      Uncle Sam may refuse. Only 612 people either renounced their citizenship or had it taken away in 1996, according to the INS. The
      number of people who have lost their citizenship during the 1990s has been only about a third as large as the number during the
      Vietnam War, when many young men renounced their citizenship to avoid the draft.

The list of crimes he can be accused of goes up considerably when viewed in light of his citizenship.  If he were not a citizen he would be in Cuba at worst and would likely be released after questioning.  His role, as much as can be assumed was as a foot soldier in armed conflicts withing Afghanistan.  He was not leadership in Taliban or Al-quaeda.  His knowledge of terrorist actions seem to be after the fact.

Should have just left him in Afghanistan.  He is just a red herring the Dems and bed-wetters will agonize over.  It's hard to stress how unimportant he really is but we have chosen the correct path of justice and hopefully the "rocket docket" court in VA will expedite the matter.  He is a pimple on an elephant's ass.

As I've continuously said since it happened - why take the POS out of Afghanistan in the first place?

The State Department could just have referred all questions to the new Afghan government and indicated that it will be 'up to his captors to establish his true identity.'

That way the Walker and Lindh family would be spending all of their money traveling to Kabul instead of paying for well-heeled lawyers!

     Long-time readers of this column may recall that I'm a big believer in the "looking for trouble" school of justice (See, Restoring the
     Hidden Law, for example). If you climb over a zoo fence in order to see if it bothers a polar bear when you kick him in the gizatz, I
     won't feel particularly sorry for you when he uses you as a loofah.

Have you ever noticed that trickshot never answers when someone questions him about his statements?  Lots of criticism from him, but no answers.

OK here is a thought? What if the survivors of the WTC, sued him for his part? That his meeting with OBL and being involved with Al Queada, caused them losses?
Sort of the OJ civil suit.

Who cares, the boy is a dead man walking in or out of jail. His days are numbered no matter where he is.

If anyone saw the Fox News Channel the other night (Wed?), their retired SF expert with the goatee, Major Bob Bellacquva(sp?), stated," Why did they bother taking him alive? That problem could`ve been solved with a full magazine and good sight alignment." I nearly laughed myself silly. Even Laurie Dhue, the anchor, said to the liberal defense attorney present, " He`s basically toast isn`t he?" Is that great TV or what?

No I had not.  But I'm beginning to get the idea now.

As you point out the criminal court jury let him walk but he was nailed solid in the the civil trial.  (For one thing the rules of evidence being different.)

If so, I hope the book and movie deal bring in lots of money for the victims families.

E.T. Hun, I went back and added "probably conspiracy will stick" to my post after a little thought.

No matter what I may think of the conspiracy laws (and I don't think much) maybe this time the conspiracy laws will prove useful - to America.

(There have been several posts of late about Johnny Boy but I have been hesitant to respond until I could determine whether J. B. was still an American citizen if not an American.)

Face it the phuker is going to be RICH. Mega million bucks of tax payer money spent to prosicute the lil pecker head and millions paid to him for the book and movie rights! Corse that won't be comforting to him when he becomes some gorillas bitch inside.

Aimless,
I believe you are correct in that at least some states have laws addressing convicted criminals profiting from books and movies.

Some one in an earlier reply mentioned the possibility of a civil trial.

The judge in this trial will need the wisdom of Solomon but won't be so gifted.  I'm just not sure what evidence will make it into trial.

Still too many unknowns.

We all fit that remark to one degree or another!  I just hope Jihad Johnny's days are a lot fewer in number then ours!

My favorite optimist is the person who says "Now "IF" I die........!
