#2 "In a deliberate effort not to influence his pending case, I did only interviews in which I spoke positively about Lindh.

Privately I warned his lawyers to keep me off the witness stand because I would send their little Johnny to prison."

Isn't this a description of influencing the case?

#5 Johnny Jihad's statement of facts, admitting guilt and allocating to his crimes is on the DOJ website. I don't have time to search it.

#6 This part really really pissed me off:::

Privately I warned his lawyers to keep me off the witness stand because I would send their little Johnny to prison.

The American talaban should have been an example to all other propagandized LLL kids who think it would be OK to go saddle up with bunch of anti-American terrorist. Simply put he should have been tried quickly then executed on national TV. Key on Executed and Quickly whether that would have required special tribunal whatever it should have been done.

The example now is if you are a US citizen terrorist you get prison time meaning the next 20yrs or so you get to spend propagandizing your fellow prisoners. Brilliant take a known enemy trained in terrorism put him in a prison with hundreds of pissed of at the man prisoners who are criminals and just may just may bite.

#7 No, he should have been shot in the field upon capture as an illegal combatant - and that fact (and the fact that he was an illegal combatant and thus not under GC protections) widely publicized. This would show that A) the GC does not protect these creatures, and B) this isn't a game - there is no 'start over'....

Now the LLL thinks that terrorists and murders deserve GC protection. A very bad precedent has been set.

#8 Robert Young Pelton is great, read "Three Worlds Gone Mad". Pelton travels into Grozny, Chechnya at the height of the Russian invasion there in '99. This guy has balls.

#9 bgrebel9---I read Pelton's book, too. Bottom line, what he said about Chechnya---There is no hope there, says it all. Pelton went into the heart of the beast of Chechnya and got back OK. A French reporter was kidnapped for a year and a half (IIRC), and committed suicide after release.

I wish that the USAF obliterated those forces they had surrounded at Konduz. Mike Spann would still be alive today, instead of being killed by Johnny Jihad's buddies in arms at the castle at Mazar--Sharif.
