Remember John Walker Lindh?

Saw that elsewhere this morn and didn't get to posting about it yet. This is insane. The fact that he got ONE day off his sentence is insane. And will now be living in the great state of Virginia. :rolleyes:

Unrepentant: Letters from Freed ‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh Praise Islamic State, Afghan Jihad

The infamous “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh wrote a few letters to reporters and authors praising Afghan Taliban jihad and the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), prompting recipients of the correspondence to label him unrepentant as authorities released the jihadi into U.S. communities on Thursday.

“The Islamic State is clearly very sincere and serious about fulfilling the long-neglected religious obligation to establish a caliphate through armed struggle, which is the only correct method,” Lindh wrote to NBC News’ Los Angeles station KNBC from prison in a letter unveiled Wednesday.

NBC reveals:


Lindh expressed that sentiment — in response to a question from the station about whether ISIS represents Islam —after ISIS had beheaded Americans in well-publicized videos, including journalist James Foley in August 2014. It was his third of four letters in a series of correspondence with KNBC.

After initially expressing remorse about joining the Taliban, Lindh sounded a different tune to NBC, goading that he was proud “to take part in the Afghan jihad.”

The “American Taliban” has maintained correspondence with news outlets from prison, including Graeme Wood from the Atlantic.

“His more than 17 years in captivity seem, on the basis of this correspondence, to have converted Lindh from an al-Qaeda supporter to an Islamic State supporter,” Wood determined.

Graphic miscarriage of justice and national security.

Take him to Iran and boot his ass out of a plane with no instructions on how to
engage a parachute.

Just throw him out with no parachute.

I hope someone bumps him off.
