Duh. -- Chris || Post in the forum
3 days without any updates makes for a boring main page. So I had to come up with something to write about or else it would be 4 days with nothing, and the possibly on to 5 days if nothing on Thursday.
Obviously by now, if you have access to the internet, you have heard about the American Taliban, John Walker. He's been back in the land that he hates so much for, oh, about 1.5 weeks now.
The decision means Lindh, 20, will not be released to the custody of his father as he awaits his trial on charges of conspiring to kill his fellow Americans.
U.S. Magistrate W. Curtis Sewell ruled that, contrary to arguments by defense lawyers, Lindh "has every incentive to flee" if he were released, and if he fled he would present a threat to his community.
I see a few problems wrong with this "kid's" case claiming that he wasn't fighting with them, as well as another point that brings up the idea that being in prision is better for him.
1. The United States Government has more money than he does - Lots more.
2. The United States Government has more money than he does - Lots more.
3. The United States Government has more money than he does - Lots more.
4. He doesn't even have an attorney since he said that he didn't need one.
5. He is better off in jail because other citizens of the U.S. would be very tempted to kill, or severely hurt a former Taliban fighter that tried to kill them, and kill another 3,000 or so people on September 11th, and also because any other terrorists that maybe in the U.S. right now will try and kill him because he may talk.
Actually, isn't that what witness protection is for? But he's not the witness.
Out of all honesty, I don't know how some people here in the U.S. can say that the prisoners in Camp Mammogram aren't being treated right. Sure, what if they aren't being treated right? They are the ones that wanted to kill you, and they still do want to kill you. Some of the fighters for the Taliban over there want to go there because there's food, water, and shelter.
All-in-all, I honestly don't think you're going to see this guy walking in the streets of anywhere for at least 30 years with the crap that they hit him with, and what kind of legal staff they are going against. Sorry, Johnny.
