THE WHINE OF AN AMERICAN JIHADIST

Suleyman al-Faris, aka Abdul Hamid, aka John Walker Lindh, is asking for 
mercy. Via the San Francisco Chronicle:
     American-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh has asked President 
Bush again to reduce his 20-year prison sentence by an unspecified 
amount, Lindh's attorney said Tuesday.
     Lindh, now in his early 20s, wrote a first-person account to the 
Justice Department's pardon attorneys arguing why he believes Bush 
should reduce his sentence. Lindh's attorney said the document could not 
be publicly released under U.S. government restrictions intended to 
prevent Lindh from disclosing national secrets.
National secrets? Don't worry. The New York Times will no doubt have its 
hands on the document and the whole world will know what's in it soon 
enough, I'm sure. More:
     Lindh, a native of Marin County, Calif., who is now imprisoned in 
southern California, was captured in Afghanistan weeks after the Sept. 
11, 2001, terror attacks. He pleaded guilty in U.S. civilian court to 
supplying services to the Taliban government and carrying explosives for 
them, but the government dismissed terrorism-related charges against Lindh.
     "As passions have cooled, it became clearer to people that John was 
a young man ... who was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said 
Lindh's attorney, James Brosnahan of San Francisco. "Hopefully, this 
president or some future president will reduce his sentence."
Hopefully, no president will do such a thing after listening to the 
family of Mike Spann, the slain CIA officer and former Marine Corps 
artillery specialist who interrogated Lindh in Afghanistan before being 
killed in a Taliban prison revolt where Lindh was captured. Here's part 
of a CNN interview from last fall with widow Shannon Spann after Lindh 
cut a deal with prosecutors to avoid a life sentence:
     [Host Bill] HEMMER: Then how do you feel today knowing that the 
plea has been reached and John Walker Lindh possibly will be in jail 
until the age of 40?
     SPANN: Yes, I mean I think it made -- it caused me to reflection my 
husband, really, and the sort of level of integrity that he had and his 
standard for accepting personally, you know, personal responsibility for 
his actions. In one sense I'm gratified that Mr. Walker has found it 
within himself to be able to accept responsibility for his actions 
overseas. I think that's not a small thing, really, for me on a personal 
level.
     I should have been pleased to have seen all of those charges 
addressed, but in any case I'm taking some small comfort from the fact 
that he has admitted his guilt.
     HEMMER: I mean no disrespect by the following question to your 
husband, but there are those who believe that at the age of 21 John 
Walker Lindh was just a misguided young man chasing a crazy ideology. He 
won't be out of jail until the age of 40. They claim he's no threat 
today and won't be when he's out of jail.
     Do you understand and agree with that thought?
     SPANN: Well, no. I mean I think the vast majority of the American 
people don't agree with those kinds of statements. I mean certainly men 
and women in uniform and out of uniform all over the world are defending 
the freedoms that we enjoy in this country at ages younger than the age 
Mr. Walker was when he made that determination.
     I mean he was an adult and he certainly indicated in his 
statements, both before he was captured and after, that he was 
passionately pursuing the course of action that he took. And I'm 
convinced that he knew exactly what he was doing.
Exactly. Don't let the unreality-based moonbats argue otherwise. Send 
your comment to the White House here.

I had the privilege of witnessing Spann's burial at Arlington National 
Cemetery in December 2001 and meeting Shannon in 2002--indelible moments 
that will stay with me the rest of my life. Spann is survived by Shannon 
and three young children--one son and two daughters. You can contribute
