The two imbeciles raised a traitor and a terrorist are asking for a pardon for their piece of trash son. These two have a lot of nerve, to say the least.

‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh’s kin ask President Bush for mercy

WASHINGTON – The parents of convicted “American TalibanJohn Walker Lindh pleaded with President Bush Wednesday to commute his 20-year prison stretch as a final act of mercy.

Frank Lindh and Marilyn Walker didn’t help their son’s case by slamming slain CIA hero Johnny (Mike) Spann‘s father, who blames the Muslim convert for failing to stop Spann’s gruesome death in a 2001 Afghan battle.

“John Lindh had nothing to do with Mike Spann’s death,” Frank Lindh said in San Francisco. “It was a shameful thing, I think, for that father to continue to make those claims against our son.”

The CIA paramilitary operative was gunned down in a firefight during a Taliban prison uprising at Mazar-e-Sharif two months after the 9/11 attacks.

Spann was videotaped questioning Lindh, who “didn’t say a word,” his dad, who’s also named John, told the Daily News from his home in Winfield, Ala.

Since then, the grieving father has blamed Lindh for joining the Taliban, meeting Osama Bin Laden and failing to warn his son a violent uprising was in the works. He opposes any commutation of Lindh’s remaining 13 years.

“I thought he ought to have got the damned electric chair,” Spann said. He called Lindh’s parents “cowards like he is.”

I could not agree more. He deserves no chance to ever feel the free air in his face. Committing treason during a time of war (and we are at war, with radical/political islam, make no mistake about that) is a crime punishable by death. He wants mercy? Make it a quick and painless death, unlike those who have been beheaded and burned with acid by Taliban jihadis. A firing squad with bullets soaked in pig blood would be just.

    No traitor should ever be pardoned. Especially someone who chooses to be the white, useful idiot. He'll find lots of comapny in prison (islamic friends). Soon, he will be……institutionalized.

    Agreed 100%.

    The only thing he deserves is 230 grains at 800 fps from a 1-9-11 pattern tool!

    His parents should also be put in prison. This country has got to put a stop to crappy, valueless, parenting. His dog should be shot too……and, all his friends should be deported, and his school teachers should be flogged. and someone should look up his…imam…….and hang him!
    Any neighbors during his childhood should be jailed for a while too.

    Brityank capped it! I came late to the party but I was going to suggest that we let him out of prison, only leave his head in the cell.

    You people are ignorant and clearly haven't the slightest clue as to what really goes down outside this country. You are the reason that our policies are backwards. Branch outside our skewed media before you open up your mouth, its embarrassing.

    I think maybe he deserves merciful consideration if:He renounces Islam,and devotes the rest of his life to its demise.
    We all do stupid things as children.
    But if he's still a hard on Islamist then another 30 years might cool his ardour.
