To borrow a regular feature from the WSJ's [url]www.OpinionJournal.com[/url]. . . . [url]http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/editorialsopinion/134408944_frilets22.html[/url] [fourth letter] [b]American Taliban[/b] Failure to communicate Recent news about the case of John Walker Lindh gives an indication of how far this country has gone from the principles it was founded on. The government plans to try him on a "trumped up" charge of plotting to kill Americans. However, he was only supporting the Taliban government in repelling criminal invaders. There was never any declaration of war; therefore, when American troops entered Afghanistan, they were merely criminals and George Bush was nothing more than an "Al Capone" in command of the world's most powerful criminal gang! Of course, it is also known that all legal advice was denied Lindh by the military until the government was able to fabricate its charges against him. I hope other Americans can see through the government's ploy and keep Lindh free. Although the Taliban were nothing more than the "Nazis" of Afghanistan, with what this country is becoming, it is easy to understand why Lindh would give them his support. - Duane Grindstaff, Kent [,Washington] |

That's as moronic a statement as anything else I've heard spewed forth from the mouths of waay left liberals... I'll chip in for the guys plane ticket to Kandahar. He can put his touchy-feely welfare state ass to work building his 'New Afghanistan' into a liberal utopian state. Or he'd get shot by the locals. Either way, I'd be happy. |
