The parents of American-born Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh today pleaded with President George W. Bush to set their son free before he leaves office next month.Here's my favorite part of the article:
At a news conference in San Francisco, Lindh's mother Marilyn Walker asked the president to show mercy during the Christmas season by commuting her son's sentence.
"John made a mistake in joining the Taliban," she said.
Now that's just too funny. Joining the Taliban isn't an excusable mistake. The dude was actually a fighting member of the Taliban!?!? It's not like he was walking around campus wearing a Che shirt talking about how great Socialism is...he actually fought against the US as a member of the Taliban.
