| Lindh asks for lighter prison sentence | |
| 2005-12-21 | |
| American-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh has asked President Bush again to reduce his 20-year prison sentence by an unspecified amount, Lindh's attorney said Tuesday. Lindh, now in his early 20s, wrote a first-person account to the Justice Department's pardon attorneys arguing why he believes Bush should reduce his sentence. Lindh's attorney said the document could not be publicly released under U.S. government restrictions intended to prevent Lindh from disclosing national secrets. Why is he still breathing?

| #25 I think every time he asks for a lighter sentence, we tack on an additional month or two. Doing that to him (and to all other Islamonazis) would relieve some of the pressure on the legal community. |

| #24 My vote is for putting this microencephalic turd in solitary confinement so no one ever has to listen to his whingeing again. You want a little cheese to go with that whine, Johnny baby? |

| #23 He should ask for candy-flavored sunshine, too. And puppies. And a night with Lindsay Lohan. Hey, why not? My vote would be for a night with Cindy Sheehan! |

| #22 You guys got it all wrong, give him a good parachute, and drop him off in the deepest darkest part of Africa you can find, complete with a sharp knife, a week's supply of food and a set of skivvies. You'll never hear from him again. |

| #20 Streamer the main Sorry Steve, what main? That's a 18 pound honey glazed ham for the DZ party. |

| #19 I'll be happy to take care of the chute packing Streamer the main and put a couple of pounds of C-4 in the reserve chute connected to a altimeter set for 500 feet. |

| #18 Yes, absolutely. Please let him out. So we can have him. Please. |

| #17 I'm all for releasing him, reconciliation amnesty et al. But first...we all know much Taliban Johnny likes military type stuff, weapons, grenades and the like. I suspect what he really needs to learn is the manly art and skill of military parachuting. I'll be happy to take care of the chute packing and jumpmaster duties. We can invite the BBC, CNN, CBS, his proud parents, friends and relatives, all of them, and celebrate his release with a huge blowout on the DZ. |

| #14 My loving wife thinks we should give him clemency, strip him of his citizenship and send him back to Afghanistan. He loves it there so much, and it would save us thousands. Besides, the agencies have long memories. |

| #13 As misguided as he might have been, he picked up arms and fought against the United States of America. That makes him a traitor plain and simple, he's also lucky we take prisoners, unlike the Taliban who executed American soldiers captured. Fuck him, may he rot in prison and be the joy of every prison rapist. |

| #12 Too bad the whole lot of Taliban and wannabe foreign Talaban weren't all taken out when they were surrounded at Konduz. Good people like Mike Spann would still be alive today. |

| #11 "As passions have cooled, it became clearer to people that John was a young man ... who was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Lindh's attorney, James Brosnahan of San Francisco. "Hopefully, this president or some future president will reduce his sentence." Ah, yes. Misguided youth. Too bad there wasn't a stray round available at "the wrong place and the wrong time". |

| #4 Lol, AP! Hard work, is it? It appears you need a matrix of nouns and adjectives to mix 'n match randomly, dosed liberally with incomprehensible acronymified verbs and adverbs, propositioned with prurient prepositions, then laced with mystical magical icons, and lanced with deliciously dangling deelybobs... ;-) |

| #3 We will consider Lindh's request seriously if a pdf of the original first-person account to the DOJ is leaked in the NYT. AFTER THAT HAS BEEN DONE, THEN THE BETTY [/JM Channeling...Ima pooped!] |
