Taliban Johnny Wants To Be Free

To the surprise of many, I will state up front that I hope that the President honors this request. John Walker Lindh has petitioned the President to commute his sentence to time served based on the fact that Yaser Esam Hamdi has been let go. I think fair is only fair, and that Johnny should be let go too – with the same conditions. I say let him go if he renounces his American citizenship and is returned to Afghanistan. He still has some friends there, and they may want to talk with him on a variety of subjects including his apparent cooperation, so let’s arrange the meeting.
