Even Traitors Like John Walker Lindh Are Getting the Liberal's Tears

Remember John Walker Lindh? He's the P.O.S. sometimes known as the "American Taliban." He served as a Taliban Soldier and faced charges that should have sent him to prison for life, but in a plea deal the government dropped the most serious charges and his sentence was dropped to 20 years.

Now, the MSM, the liberals, and his family are crying that the twenty year sentence is too harsh.

John Walker Lindh's father, Frank R. Lindh, said, "He was a victim of a hysterical atmosphere post-9/11."

The dude is a traitor, serving as a soldier with the enemy, and he's a victim?

The claim is that John Walker Lindh did not commit terrorism, or support terrorism, and that he did not fight Americans nor conspire to kill Americans.

Now, they are saying that his crimes (the ones he's guilty of minus being a traitor) deserve a lighter prison term.

Look, I am all for a fair justice system, but any idiot who takes up arms with the enemy and remains a soldier of that enemy's army during wartime, in my book, is a traitor, and a life sentence would even be too light of a sentence. Marching with the enemy in this brave new world means you support terrorism, and that should not be tolerated. Back in the days when this nation struggled for its identity, traitors were shot. This one ought to be as well. The punishment should fit the crime, and being a traitor should be me with the penalty of death.
