Brave my ass, he helped oppress Afghanistan with the Taliban, and a good fighter HAH! The Taliban and Al-Queda don't have the intelligence to even learn to aim their weapons. Get your head out of your ass.

  • american government is the biggest terrorist in the world , John Walker is just a regular guy.

    so we are very happay to kill anyone from christein in america

    children also

    no body care

  • @bethoveenzeyad english is hard huh?

  • Lots of Muslims seem to be praising young Johnny. What do you guys think of his GAY father? Ya down with that?

  • These parents are delusional. Compassion, hmmmmm. Your son knowingly joined an organization who oppress every single basic human right, who use any means possible to abuse, rape and terrorize women, the list is just too long to deny the true nature of the cult that he wanted to be a part of, and to pursue their evil agenda until stopped by American forces.

  • @abooomjahd suck blood, you smelly terrorist. Stop preaching your radical ways by flying planes into our buildings and we won't come over there and kill your brothers and sisters who share your sick views. And you don't eat pork so lucky us....boom!

  • what r his parents? their son was found fighting alonside taliban fighters after 4 days of fire fight, this scumbag was captured and they say THAT HE IS NOT ANTI-AMERICAN, SO WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE DOING WITH THOSE MUSLIM DOGS IN THAT RAG TAG BASEMENT FOR 4 DAYS, SUCKING THEIR COCKS TO EASE THEIR PAIN HUH???

  • John is a hero defending the weak

    John forget you because you are a hero

    We are with you John

    Taliban Muslims are the heroes

    Greetings to you from your brothers in Saudi Arabia

  • @abooomjahd lol what thee ??

  • @s3xxysh0rty123 John the hero??

    America a terrorist state

    Death to false Abama pork

    Muslims are the Champions

  • FREE JOHN All Scottish people support you John

  • The idea that this man was some kind of traitor, or terrorist, is really so unbased, it is beyond comprehension. I guess treason and terrorism are a matter of timing. Young Republican activists supported "freedom fighters" across the 3rd world in the 80's, without being labeled as either. Lindh was just a guy who was upset by the Northern Alliance and moved to Afghanistan to fight the Northern Alliance, not the United States who didn't invade Afghanistan until much later.

  • Right mr bush show us what u can really do for americans ?

  • i love ur son, from the deep of my heart im so in love with john...

  • TERRORIST

  • Comment removed

  • Read this: guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/­10/john-walker-lindh-american-­taliban-father

  • I just saw a recent article about Mr. Lindh saying what a good kid he was and blah blah blah. "He went to the mountains for relief from the heat" oh, so Global Warming is to blame for him hanging out with terrorists. Geez uhz, unbelievable. Mike Spann is dead&your son is alive. It appears GWB/cheney were right all along by jailing every terrorist in Gitmo and up to and including JW Lindh. HICKS IS AUSTRAILIAN dopey :) JWL WAS an American, Federal time? You do it ALL, they let u out 10 mins early

  • He's a traitor--death penalty

  • @NeB609 lol wut did he do?

  • @bannyloren100 aided and abetted terrorists

  • @NeB609 oh yea wasnt it the CIA that funded Osama? and wasnt bush that give money to the taliban before 9/11?

  • @bannyloren100 big fucking deal....I'm so sick of that argument.....alliances shift and change all of the time on the international scene.....so the United States helped the mujahadeen (of which bin Laden was a part) fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980's......after which he became our enemy......what does that have to do with 9/11? by the way where is his thanks for helping him to fight the Soviets?

  • @bannyloren100 I don't think so but its ok if thats what you think... Im not a conspiracy theorist

  • @NeB609 No he didn't. At best, he aided the Taliban, who are not terrorists, against the Northern Alliance, which was, and is, an oppressive government in Afghanistan. By your logic, if, in the 80's, the Nicaraguan Contras protected a region, in which, lived a band of terrorists who attacked the United States, then Reagan's "Citizens for America" including Jack Abramoff and Oliver North, would have been terrorists and traitors.

  • I agree...and Couric should be waterboarded for any signs of intelligence.

  • @NeB609 by the amount of comments it appears you are the idiot. Im soo sorry that my fellow Americans are as stupid and hive minded as you. Go listen to jay z you tool.

  • His parents must have been weenies..

  • Jhon walker one of the few americans that actually did not beleive in american government propaganda.

  • @SanNicaragua amen

  • @SanNicaragua

    Thanks for showing me stupid people exist.

  • @cryfreeedom Yes a date with OLD SPARKY would sort him and quick

  • 'If it could get to Mr. Bush, I think he would grant the petition". LOL yeah right buddy. We now know that Bush declined, but these people seem incredibly naive.

  • The US government never charged Lindh with any crime against America, or any wish to hurt or kill Americans. He was charged with supporting the Taliban -- which at that time was the government of Afghanistan. Why all the hatred? Why does it linger?

  • @kuninokunino Old Sparky would Fix Things Fast Throw The Switch Traitor

  • His Mom said it was painful to see her son tired and hungry while restrained. Was it harder than Mike Spann's wife and kids not having a dad anymore? You raised a horrible terrorist who fought and tried to kill Americans. You should be ashamed to even still love your worthless traitor of a son. WORST PARENTS EVER!

  • MIke spanh was in a foreign country, fighting with a gun on his hand. He should stayed in his country if he would not want to die. Its logical what happened.

  • his parents don't give a shit obviously

  • Why wasn't this mother fucker put in GITMO with his pig cock chugging terrorists? His parents are fucking morons. He admitted he was there to be a fucking martyr! His own words! John was on the wrong side, and the Taliban GAVE him to the Northern Alliance because he was Al Qaeda. All 300 of those assholes at Qala-i-Jangi were non Afghani fighters who were AQ. Fuck these jokers, I hope his ass has been widened real good. Piece of shit. Spann should have shot him in the face.

  • @SippinonMickeys No get Sparky into action Fizz Fizz Fizz !!!!!!

  • sorry for the parents but they allowed this idiot to follow a cult, oh so understanding but missing the whole point.. this idiot was carrying a weapon and shooting at American allies (the northern alliance) and helping out the Talaban and according to his words (read the indictment) attended training camps operated by bin lauden and the boys.. actually met binny.. i think they ought to add ten years for just bein stupid

  • Well you know when you convert to an evil cult of death founded by a vile looter,enslaver,rapist,mass-mu­rderer and paedophile muhammad (pig shit be upon him) then turn traitor on your country following in muhammad's (pig shit be upon him) footsteps,you gotta expect to take some slack. Fuck him.fuck his evil god allah and fuck his evil prophet muhammad (pig shit be upon him)

  • Well, THANK GOD Bush didn't commute this traitor's sentence! I hope Johnny Spann's relatives take care of Rat Boy after he leaves prison...... now THAT would be justice!

  • Oh? The New York Times ------- a LIBERAL rag --------- was the one which recognized what RAT BOY was all about? Well, I'll be damned. The NEW YORK TIMES, of all the papers! What's the world coming to? These parents should also be in prison with the little traitor. There should not have been any plea bargain....... Rat Boy should have been put in front of a firing squad and shot.

  • Damn liberals.

  • Those parents are pussies. Their son is a traitor. He is a Benedict Arnold of my generation and he got what he deserved. Bush should have had him shot down for treason, but OH NO!! We're Capitalists, we dont do things like that in America. That is why I follow Che, because he didnt take shit from no one :))

  • @PapagenoJuan2 you realize Che was a traitor who was shot?

  • John Walker Lindh

    R.I.P.

    Funny how he never got the death penalty...its all about racial preference really.

  • R.I.P. John Blackstone, a true American Revolutionary...

    I love this white boy, wish would be able to give birth to his first born..."White Pride!"

  • 3/3.

    [4:24] Basically states, 'Married women are off limits except those who fall into your hands, captives'

    .

    {If the US fell into the hands of the Muslims, married and unmarried Jewish and Christian women would be considered "captives} [4:3] ..."Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four..."

    .

    [2:228] "... And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; But men have a degree over them...]

  • @Gracelandification son do get far ALLAH ALMIGHTY SWT DID SAID BEAT THEM BUT NOT IN A PAIN WAY IF I DO DID I HAVE DONE ASTARY SIN I CANT PUNCH THEM KICK THEM OR HARM THEM BUT DO IT LIGHTLY IN HER HANDS IN THE HADITH IT DESCRIBES IT BTW CHIRSTIANTY DONT HAVE MEANING BUT ISLAM HAS A MEANING IN ARABIC ITS MEANS SUBMISSION SUPREME TO ONE GOD/ALLAH ALIMIGHTY JESUS PEACE BE UPON HIM FAITH IS ISLAMIC NOW HIS WITH ALLAH SWT IN HIGH HEAVENS BUT HE'LL COME SOON ILL PROMISE BUT IN ALLAH ALMIGHTY WILLING.

  • @VE2E7AN

    .

    Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum states there's between 120,000,000 to 180,000,000 Muslims that support terrorism (militant Islam). Majority don't speak out against it, and it's unknown whether this is due to fear or sympathy.

    .

    Allen West 2012

    .

    You must be one of the 180 Million that support terrorism.

  • @Gracelandification if that so why are we in peace living and breathing commenting on the internet i only support Islam millants that are trying to stop people against Islam stop letting them invading their countries and the palestian people from the jews Israel is a stolen land from palestine and without middle east west cannot live because of their gifted oil but ALLAH almighty said in the QU'RAN one of the good deeds to go heaven is sharing and charity.

  • @Gracelandification Ah, lousy statistics and also can you blame anyone really?

  • 2/3

    [ 2:282] "O you who believe, when you transact a loan for any period, you shall write it down. An impartial scribe shall do the writing. ........ Two men shall serve as witnesses; if not two men, then a man and two women whose testimony is acceptable to all. Thus, if one woman becomes biased, the other will remind her. It is the obligation of the witnesses to testify when called upon to do so. ......"

  • 1/3 Here's some passages in the Qu'ran that pertain to lack of women's rights.

    .

    [4.11] "Allah (thus) directs you As regards your children's (inheritance): to the male a portion equal to that of two females"

    .

    [2. 223] "Your wives are as a tilth [cultivated land] unto you. So approach your tilth when or how ye will."

    .

    [4:34] Men are the protectors... As to those women On whose part ye fear Disloyalty and ill-conduct, Admonish them, refuse to share their beds, beat them...

  • They capture the guy months after 9/11. He’s like a scapegoat because Al Qaeda is given safe haven in that country, and the Taliban running that country.

    I don’t think he’s responsible of killing 3000 people in New York. I don’t buy into that.

  • John Walker is an American hero, nothing to be ashamed of...

  • @JackCHLEF

    From Islamic Law cont.:

    When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible ( when the purpose of lying is to circumvent someone who is preventing one from doing something permissible), and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory... it is religiously precautionary in all cases to employ words that give a misleading impression...

  • @JackCHLEF

    From Islamic Law:

    Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) - "Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it.

  • @JackCHLEF

    Bukhari (84:64-65) - Speaking from a position of power at the time, Ali confirms that lying is permissible in order to deceive an "enemy."

  • @JackCHLEF saying some is ignorant because they don't agree with your view is misusing the word ignorant. if having my own informed opinion on a subject makes me ignorant, then I guess I'm a smart ignorant person.

    From the Hadith:

    Bukhari (49:857) - "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar." Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means.

  • @JackCHLEF

    Yes. I've read the Quran 3 times so far.

    Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.

    Qur'an (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means deceit. If Allah is deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same.

  • Yo Fuck the Talibans ! they are bitches !

    yo check out the new Splinter cell conviction that shit is raw dawg ! man this shit is too old yet much interesting !  Yo what the fuck , i know I'm talkin shit.......please don't cuss me Homies!

  • the crime was not converting to Islam, it was joining the Taliban

  • dose anybody know that john was 16, his father left his mother for an other man!

    the propaganda machine showes them in this clip as a happy couple.

  • he shouldn't have said that the USS Cole deserved to be bombed by docking in Yemen.

  • @moeazysgc

    1. Islam is not a race.

    2. I have read the Quran and know more about Islam than many Muslims do, thus I am not ignorant and actually know what I'm talking about

    3. Check your facts before you spill your stupidity onto the internet.

  • listen your son was programed by his cult leaders, just shoot him in the head and we can sleep better at night knowing he's with his 72 virgins, i'll buy the bullet

  • he need to be drawn and quartered..

  • First, John Walker Lindh is a fucking traitor, he fought with the taliban and supported their cause against the US.

    Second, Islam is not a peaceful religion. In Islam, the second half of writings supersede the older writings and in the second half it teaches violence and hate. Look it up yourselves. No muslim will tell you that. Why? Because Shar'ia Law permits muslims to deceive and lie to non-muslims so that they accept Islam in their ultimate goal to convert the whole world.

  • @ArmyCC90 lair and hater u must be racist!!All u do is, hate with ignorance!!Great jobb!!Untill u face God!!Almighty!!

  • @ArmyCC90 lair and hater u must be racist!!All u do is, hate with ignorance!!Great jobb!!Untill u face God!!Almighty!!what he did was wrong,( but he was mislead idiot!!

  • @ArmyCC90 ..Dude, did you really read the Quran? And in which part of Quran mentioned that a good Muslim can lie? You are a such ignorant pretending that you know about Islam. those people who are like you fucked up our world with your ignorance and hate.

  • "Completely unfair" to compare Spann to their piece-of-shit son? Even though Spann died and their bastard son lived? Why is it that whenever there is a lower-than-whaledung individual, the goofy ass media has to go interview the equally goofy parents?

    Good American v. Bad American? Yeah... that's EXACTLY what it was!

  • @mnpd007 Spann got what he deserved and is probably burning in hell. Lindh was in the wrong place at the wrong time. There was no evidence to support he was part of the 9 11 murderers. Spann however was part of the lowest form of gutter filth who torture unarmed combatants in guantanamo and basram airbase.

  • People after 9/11 were "confused"? Irrational? Screw that nasty, traitor bastard.

  • And why do they call him a "American Taliban"?

  • My parents were the complete opposite when I converted to islam back in 1998!My mother had a deep,deep hatred for the religion(she was a white southerner from south carolina)and she always use to tell me that she would never accept my murderous hate-filled religin etc...She also said ´´I´ve stoped telling people people that I have a muslim son because many peole would show a face of distrust and anger´´.I´ve left the religion and no longer do I consider myself a muslim.Everyone hates islam!!!

  • "I can see the terror in his eyes" Well, boo-hoo & cry me a river. Listen lady, I can still see the TERROR in the eyes of New Yorkers on September 11th, 2001 when his friends flew those airliners into the WTC. Maybe, if you had taught him some morals & not indulged his every whim, he wouldn't have chose the path he did.No one put a gun to his head & forced him to fly 1/2 way around the world to join with these terrorist scum.

    You reap what you sow.

  • @5ezpzez are you stupid the US provided WEAPONS to IRAQ. Do you know how many people we Americans have killed in the name of our agendas. The people that fight against us we call terrorists and people like you eat it up because your to stupid to comprehend being in someone elses shoes.

  • Verily this life is but a test. The real life is in the hearafter. And for those that strive in the way of God there will be everlasting reward {paradise}

  • O mother and father.. Your son has pour soul.. He want to bring the meaning of this lifel.. What we are for? For what we live? He had seen the life in America is too far opposite for what he need. May Allah bless your son in this life and the life after. Insya Allah.. He loose to American Government but he got victory beside Allah. Paradise is waitng for him. Allahhu Akbar.

  • @mkhairie allah akbar......allak akbar....allah akbar....allah akbar

  • hOW CAN ANYONE SAY ISLAM IS A VERY PEACEFUL RELIGION ?

  • @pearlypetals how can america be a peaceful country when they killed so many innocent people in iraq and afghanistan

  • @pearlypetals how can you speak and dont know anything.....

  • @pearlypetals your so ignorant read some relion books and come back to dialogue the islam

  • @raycarter22 I am intelligent, well read, well travelled, and I know how Imans wash brain muslims, so shut up and keep praying to allah, it is your karma. I am not ignorant, learn to respect and accept those who think differently from you. and please dont answer me back because I am ignoring you.

  • I feel sorry for his parents--obviously they are hurt and embarassed. But seriously, they act like the country hates him because he converted to Islam. Nobody really cares what his religion was... wtf was he doing over there with the Taliban? Sane, sensible Muslims here don't go joining the extremists, then pretend to not to support terrorism. He obviously got caught up in the extremest movement, and should expect the disdain of the American people.

  • Comment removed

  • @Thesitecompany wooow your so stupid and foolish

  • Nice parenting.

  • The father is a homosexual, his son is a traitor, his ex wife is an earthy crunchy hippie cunt. They are an American family. And when we, the crusaders, turn our eye to this nation, there will be blood.

  • Thanks god for those like john walker who stoo up for what was right, please don't let him alone like we did to timothy mcveight they killed him to cover up terrorist bush in oklahoma bombing

  • his mom is like an angel, her voice is so smooth, alhamdulilah

  • this guy should be either ONE of two things:

    1) tortured and burned, then executed

    2) Or just plain tortured, then executed

  • poor parents. poor john 20 years for going to Afghanistan on holiday.

  • juniid...shut the hell up.

    there is no allah.

    there is a GOD, but he is not one of violence and murder.

    learn the TRUTH of God.

    save yourself of stupid shit and suicide.

    theres enough of your so called brothers and sisters that killed themselves while killing many innocent people, in hell right now...theres probably not enough room for anyone else in hell cause theres so many of your crack heads that keep it full.

    moron.

  • @CoryAKAknoxville There is no God, stupid yankee.

  • they should have tried him for enlisting in a foreign army. Trouble is that the Taliban is not recognized as such. So they should have let him go. It's good to see his parents as sensible persons who cherished the democratic rule of freedom of religion to the bone. Kudos!

  • Mom says Americans reactions to their son after 9/11 are "illogical"

    Dad says son was a victim of the same circumstance as Spann.

    Typical liberal nutjobs.

  • He's a traitor and should be treated as such. DEATH TO ALL TRAITORS, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC! It was in my oath that way...

  • What so hard on this Progressive. The country is full of them now and he will probably teach your kids in college on day if these progressive traitors are not banned from colleges and politics

  • KILL JOHN WALKER

  • He's a FUCKING MORON for converting to anything !!!

    Kill John Walker

  • lol. he really was training with al queda as a joke ... hmmm- the man obviously had a mental illness

    But ya I think " john walker" should be hanged for sure

  • Allahu Akbar! May Allah protect him. A noble man who felt the afghani women where his mothers and sisters, and the young children where his brothers and sisters and defended them.

    Learn the truth of islam... save yourselves from the hellfire

  • yeah hes not anti-American he was just training with al-quada for fun !

  • i think he was with taliban not with alqieda... he didn,t fight against Amerca..

    u can,t call him a traiter... watch ur politation they saying we should not mix alqieda and taliban..

  • I have so much respect for these parents after watching this

  • He probably is harmless...but you cant take the risk and let him run around

  • U ARE A TRUE WARRIOR JOHN

  • I don't understand what his parents are trying to argue. They say he was scared for his life and just trying to survive. If that were true, wouldn't he just tell interrogators that he was an American citizen and let them know about the planned prison uprising? Withholding information like that led to lives lost. I don't see why his sentence should be reduced.

  • free john walker lindh. free walter bellhaven.

  • يــــارب فك اسره على النصره والثبــات وانفع به الدين واجعله من المجـــاهدين ....

    اميين

  • they are fucking idiots

  • Walker's father and mother divorced in 1997 because he is a closeted homosexual that would disappear for weeks in San Fransisco. They're the reason he went off the deep end. Fucking morons.

  • Oh, those wacky, wacky kids- yeah- I'm sure anyone would understand how, our kid, get's these idea, and then ecides to follow up on them. Gosh- he just needs a hug.

    I'm from NYC (NO comments please) we're a bit cynical, and all that. But these Californian parents are MORONS.

  • Their son is a fucking California hipster asshole, whose direct actions got an American soldier killed. If J.W.L. was'nt over there playing wannabe terrorist, that soldier would still be alive.

    Let him rot for 20 years, he should just be happy he's even still alive bc that soldier sure isn't.

  • Wasn't a soldier, was a CIA agent. Which is worse.

  • The man who died was CIA? Is that what you're saying. If so you're right, even worse.

  • He was CIA Agent Mike Spann.

  • This guy deserves the death penalty .

    Traitor! Our boys are dying over there! He was a member of the Taliban! Traitor.

  • john walker didn't do any things wrong and should be free of any charge

  • yes he did...

    he joined a lunatic religion founded by a pedophile prophet

    he helped terrorists

    fought against his own country and should spend life in jail

  • JWL is far from a traitor. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft are the traitors.

    shockback's correct, the Democracy Now interview is much more informative and less edited. the interviewers suck though.

  • I recommend everyone watch the interview with Lindh's parents on DemocarcyNow!, it is much more informative.

  • Being a traitor is punishable by death in America. Why isn't this guy dead?

  • the death penality is not used in these situations

    we are more civilized than the Arabs are

    Arabs kill their traitors... do you really think we should stoop to their moral levels? We are better than that

  • uh noo your not!

  • the parents are sick people who should never have been alllowed to spawn. the ease with which these people are completely disconnected with the underlying reality is utterly incredible.

  • the dad says our son isnt antiamerican or for the taliban... are you friggin kiddin me !! HE WENT OVER THERE , and JOINED THEM. Do you have ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO DO THAT ? fuck that, rott in hell jihad johnny... To the parents its not really your fault, hes a grown man made his own decision. But to claim hes not a terroist but yet he was FOUND ON THE BATTLE FIELD with them ??

  • learn how to speak english

  • why should i... just as long as peop can understand me then im fine bitch, btw u should learn to get a life, and stop checkin comments that is 2-3 months old... geez.

  • I do not sympathize with Lindh's supporters nor do i condemn him for being a muslim. In its pure form, Islam is a very peaceful religion. His conversion is what it is. What happened between his short time at the Yemeni Language Center in Sanaa in 1998 and studies at the madrassah in Bannu, Pakistan in 2000 that changed him so drastically? He was 17 when he was in Yemen. A kid. An impressionable kid. He got in way over his head, surrounded by the wrong people when he got to Chichkeh, Afghanistan.

  • After reaching the point of no return in Afghanistan, he must have realized "oh crap, what have I got myself into?" and from there he tried to stay under the radar (cowardly, yes) for fear of being accused as a spy. After that, Lindh remained a silent, scared little boy in the basement at Qala-i-Janghi, praying only to stay alive. Did he help the Taliban? No. Did he help America? Certainly not. Death penalty? No. Sent publicly back to Afghanistan to let the Afghans deal with him? Absolutely!

  • I agree Joey send him back to Afghanistan and let them deal with him. I will supply the one way ticket.

  • @joeydstank I like your thoughts, I feel the same, John Walker Lindh should be burned at the stakes, like a witch.

  • Burn him in hell.

  • Much better ways to get your point acrosss than join a known terrorist group!

  • stipi he's a terrorist! he chose to go to afghanistan.he was in the taliban.

  • Mike Spann was beaten to death by a bunch of terrorists. One of them John Lindh. Mike will never see his wife and kids again.

  • John Lindh did not beat Spann. While Spann was being beaten Lindh was laying wounded the moment the shooting started. I am of Tajik decent. Tajiks are SWORN enenmies of Pastos and the Talib. So I am not an appologist for Lindh. But the fair is fair and the true story has surely not been told.

  • Does anyone have the facts and does anyone even care what the facts are. I would like to see a special on one of the tv programs giving the facts.

    I am very surprised at what people want to believe or not believe and then make radical statements.

    At this point I have not a clue of what the real history nor the real story and I doubt that anyone else blogging here does either. Many people just want to believe what they want to based on prejudiced information or someone elses preconceived opinion

  • The book Horse Soldiers might clear some things up.

  • Good Book

  • he is the example of wat muslims have to deal with fuckin americans..... army bush fascist can all suck my u know wat

    Walker Lindh didnt do nothing wrong!!!!!

  • yes you right
