The American Taliban

[Gunz]

Gets out of the Federal can tomorrow. Good article on this shithead, apparently still an unrepentant radical jihadist. And RIP Mike Spann.


John Walker Lindh, Known as the ‘American Taliban,’ Is Set to Leave Federal Prison This Week

 

[Grunt]

He was and still is -- an enemy of the United States of America. No amount of prison time is able to change that. He is the same as he was when he was caught.

And yes...may you continue to rest in peace, my Brother!

 

[Blizzard]

Not sure why he is still breathing.

You know what would make me happy? To read this:

"...and in other news, John Walker Lindh was found dead of mysterious circumstances mere hours after being released from prison. Law enforcement has no leads...."

 

[AWP]

The lack of a shiv in his past is disconcerting.

Thought he was moving to Ireland once he is out?

He's dead if he stays in the US.

 

[chickenrappa]

I thought they'd give him more time than 20 years, for being a Taliban that was apart of killing a CIA case officer? I thought people got the death penalty for that shit.

He's not allowed a passport or to travel out of the country.

He gained Irish citizenship while in prison. He can travel to move there, if approved. In all honesty, it's for the best. I'll find the article, but I remember an opinion piece on Fox explaining that he'd be more likely to be arrested in Ireland for "extremist speech" than he would in the US.

No, he cannot leave the country as one of the terms of his probation, even if he has Irish citizenship.

I should have clarified; he can after his 3? year probation.

Correct...if he makes it that long. Here's to hoping.

Looks like he can with permission of his PO (para 16). Shocked that DOJ didn’t connect him with Spann’s death.

PLEA AGREEMENT

I'm just shocked they're letting this guy out of prison after what he did, people who sell drugs do less time than this guy, and he's a traitor!

 

[DA SWO]

Nov 2001 to may 2019. 18.5 of a 20 year sentence.
He wasn't a model prisoner.

How did he get Irish Citizenship?

 

[Blizzard]

How did he get Irish Citizenship?

Evidently his mom was born there or some shit.

 

[Muppet]

He needs tar, feathering and lynching.

 

[11Bull]

He's a goner anyway, the CIA has a bone to pick with him.
