American traitor sadly still alive, seeks commuted sentence

Yeah, I'd forgotten about him too. John Walker Lindh, hero to American leftists everywhere, is now requesting that his 20-year sentence be commuted.

John Walker Lindh asked President Bush on Tuesday to commute his 20-year prison sentence for aiding the Taliban.

His lawyer, James Brosnahan, said that Lindh was fighting alongside the Taliban in a civil war against the Northern Alliance, that he is not a terrorist and that he never fought against U.S. troops.

The tragedy of this story is that we even know Walker's name. This should have been a story we never heard about, because it should have been dealt with in Afghanistan with a 40-caliber shell. This traitorous piece of California street trash should have been treated no differently than any of the other Taliban enemies that were appropriately offed.

Instead, we have to keep this scumbag alive in our prison system, listening to his rat-bastard lawyer bleat on about this and that. I hope they'll extend his prison term just because he had the nerve to ask for clemency.
