Parents of 'American Taliban' ask Bush to free him

IIRC the timeline of events puts him in very close proximity to Spann at the time of his torture/murder. Some have speculated that he was a likely participant.

No pardon. Ever.

I say let him out and we can all host a party for him at my place. Instead of bring a bottle we’ll make it bring your own car battery and blow-torch.

Any takers?

Do Not Release.

Shoot, there’s nothing wrong with that guy that we couldn’t fix with our hands alone. More of a catharisis.

He’s at Admax… there is no GP there

edit: correction, apparently he was moved to Terre Haute Federal Correctional Complex, according to wikipedia.

I’m not in favor of leniency, as I feel that he’s already received that to have had his life spared; that said, unless he has at some point along the way renounced Islam, which fool among us would not expect him to be front and center at the next 9-11 attempt?

It isn’t just the kid’s past choices that we need to consider here; it is his continued adherence to the madness that got him into this mess to begin with, and the likelihood that he will resume active aggression with an eye toward martyrdom, given the opportunity.

Warehouse him until he is ready for planting.

Chief

She’ll have better luck asking Obama for a pardon.

An American agent was murdered with Lindh’s help, IIRC. The agent was from Oklahoma, and was a friend of a friend.
I’d not see much reason to pardon the man.

He should have been executed IMO

Treason IMO…hang 'im high.

Why we haven’t executed the traitor is beyond me. His parents should be thanking the Lord that their dear little boy didn’t get a death sentence.

More of the “he’s a good boy!” syndrome.

I think we should investigate the parents. Maybe they should be joining him. They could all be traitors. I may be wrong. But just a thought.

He should have gotten two in the face when we caught him!

For Sure!

Attorney was at the press conference explaining that “times have changed since his conviction”, etc. I chuckled when a reporter asked the attorney, “So what’s your next course of legal action?” Attorney nervously laughed and sheepishly replied, “Uh, well we’ve already had our legal action.” :smiley:

Oh come on

The poor kid just fell in with a bad crowd:rolleyes:

He chose which side he wished to fight for so let him suffer the consequences of his poorly chosen actions.

i do believe he probably isn’t a bad kid… i think he was probably just young and idealistic and recently converted to islam, and some butthole got ahold of him and filled his head full of jihad glory, so he went off to be mujahideen. I’m sure it was just one of those dumb phases kids go through, and i’m sure he greatly regrets it now.

but that doesn’t excuse treason. firing squad for him.

why don’t we execute traitors anymore?

why don’t we execute traitors anymore?

Good question. Maybe if we started executing some of the SOB’s that defend them the ratio would go up a bit!

“Times have changed since his conviction…”

Statement too stupid…can’t form coherent response…must…fight…urge to Elvis the monitor…

Yeah! It’s not like he was hanging out with Bill Ayers. :wink:
