My latest in PJ Media: Imagine if a major American newspaper had marked the twentieth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack by publishing an op-ed by an American who had betrayed his country and gone to fight for the Japanese Empire during World War II. And imagine if this op-ed harshly criticized American practices […]
The Intercept publishes op-ed by American Taliban Lindh without identifying him as such, calls him ‘former POW’
That John Walker Lindh was not tried for treason was one of our first failures of nerve in this long war. This is another: jihadis are chic and highlighted fulsomely by an establishment media that would never dream of featuring a foe of jihad violence in any similar way. “REVEALED: ‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh […]
Taliban jihadist freed early on good behavior, Pompeo calls it a threat to America
American Taliban Fighter John Walker Lindh will be set free after 17 years in jail. His early release for ‘good behavior’ shows just how ill equipped authorities are in protecting the public from jihadists. Lindh does not believe he did anything wrong.

US Taliban jihadi John Walker Lindh to be released in May, supports ISIS, advocates for global jihad
John Walker Lindh was captured while fighting alongside the Taliban against U.S. troops. If that isn’t treason, what is? This jihadi says he wants to move to Ireland, but if the Irish aren’t stupid enough to let him in, he will likely become a hero of the Muslim victimhood circuit in the U.S., speaking at […]
“American Taliban” John Walker Lindh expresses “cautious support” for the Islamic State (ISIS)
He should have been charged with treason, since treason is quite obviously what he was engaged in. He was fighting for the Taliban against American troops. But instead, he will be out in two years, with his “cautious support” for ISIS, and will then no doubt he hailed as a hero by the Leftist intelligentsia, […]
New York Times: Paul Theroux asks Obama to pardon American Taliban John Walker Lindh
As a young, idealistic Peace Corps volunteer in Malawi in the 1960s, travel writer Paul Theroux, moved by the evidence of misrule he saw everywhere around him, got involved in a plot to assassinate Malawian Prime Minister Hastings Banda. Essentially because of that experience, he now wants Obama to pardon John Walker Lindh, the Marin […]
