Suspected US Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh was mistreated by the FBI and "tortured" into confessing, his lawyers have said.

They made the allegations after releasing a picture showing him strapped to a stretcher naked and blindfolded shortly after his capture last December.



But prosecutors said the Muslim convert - who is accused of conspiring to kill Americans and providing services to support al Qaida - was being handled like any dangerous prisoner.

Lindh's lawyers said the photo of the 21-year-old suburban runaway from California was a "souvenir" taken by his captors as he was held inside a metal container at US Camp Rhino in Kandahar, Afghanistan

If someone can prove that photo to be true, then the FBI are going to have more major problems.

The photo is old news. It came out months ago. The mainstream (right-wing) US media made jokes about it. I remember seeing it on, I believe, MSNBC.

It's true, all right. It's also meaningless. The US pisses on human rights every day. Was he mistreated? Of course. And no one cares, certainly not all these good, God-fearing Amurikans who believe in such things as "libery" and "justice for all," or, more precisely, "liberty" for the meek and "justice" for the State.

I aslo don't see how this is gonna change a thing, but I thought

D Day,

I'm with you. It shouldn't be forgotten. Nor should the "prisoners" the US gov't continue to hold, without trials, in Cuba.

And you're exactly right, the US brings up "human rights" only when it's a convenient excuse for its imperialism. I believe Chomsky wrote about this in The Umbrella of US Power.

As for showing the right-wingers what they support, I've always given much respect to the right in that regard. I believe that they know full well what they support. I give them credit for knowing the effects of the policies they endorse. This is why I believe they are inhuman filth, nothing but garbage people, like fascists, like Nazis. They, I firmly believe, enjoy the suffering of others. The right-wing is the bastion of sociopaths and others suffering from various forms of dementia. Capitalism, through it's cold cash nexus of human relations, enables them to form parties, to form coalitions, supporting the death of others as somehow "natural." The "survival of the fittest," they say. Garbage, it's the survival of the cruelest, of the heartless, of the worthless.

I've no sympathy, no charity, no love for right-wingers.

I've always maintained that position.

Harsh? Perhaps. But what else should one think of those who endorse policies which destroy people?

It is incrediblre that instead of focusing on this piece of filth's treacherous actions and attempts to take up arms against his own nation, you pukes focus on the fact that he was tied and blindfolded in a box (not really that cruel, everything else being equal).

Poor him. He was all to willing to blow a US soldiers brains out, yet once we catch him and hold him accountable, he is the freakin' victim.

Not to mention that recently he has been spilling his guts to the feds for a deal, admitting he was wrong and begging for forgiveness for his mistake.

The tendancies of bleding hearts like you to concentrate on the perpetrator's rights more than the crimes they committ is unfortunately indicative of the lack of logic that liberals often display.

Vox, stop with the fire and brimstone bleeding heart rhetoric and address the issue.

Mr. Lindh was not tortured, and any allegations of coercion or mistreatment will be sorted and settled in a court of law.

How can one question due process for Mr. Lindh, while at the same time suggesting that american prosecuters do not deserve the same consideration?

It seems that pre-judgement and assumptions outside of a legal arena are par for the course among liberals who wish to conduct witch hunts against american policies.

"CI, why is it now, suddenly, "Mr. Lindh" when just a bit ago you referred to him as "this piece of filth?" Can't you even keep your own bullshit straight?"

Vox, you are splitting hairs here. My calling him "Mr. Lindh" at one point and a "piece of filth" the next is irrelevant to our discussion.


"Fact is, his treatment was unconscionable, and that's obvious."

Maybe to the bleeding hearts here, but many people see it as an appropriate wartime measure. Mr. Lindh received apprpriate medacal care, was fed, and sheltered. Of course he was tied up, he was a POW. Its not the Kabul Ritz. A reasonable person would not consider tying up a POW as cruel or unusual in a wartime situation.

"Since when is it "right" to tie someone up, blindfold him and stick him in a box?
Huh? Got an answer? Or just more bullshit?"

When they are an enemy POW and have demonstrated a willingness and ability to maliciously attack your forces. Is that good enough for you, morality master?

"Well, CI, you already said it was right, everything else being equal." Yep, you did.

Now you're backpedaling like every right-winger does when confronted with the outrageous atrocity of their "ideals.""

Show me how I backpedalled! I did no such thing, I have maintained my stance on this issue throughout this thread.

Garbage. It's completely relevant, for it shows your insidious ass-licking style, first of all. Too, terminology is always important. Language does not simply convey fact, but attitude, and you changed your attitude extremely.

"Maybe to the bleeding hearts here, but many people see it as an appropriate wartime measure."

More garbage. If he's in custody, how is binding him, blindfolding him and putting him in a box "appropriate?" It isn't, and everyone knows it. You, however, with your faith-based jingoism, will defend any atrocity done by the USA, regardless of how vile, which, of course, makes you just as vile or, possibly, moreso.

"When they are an enemy POW and have demonstrated a willingness and ability to maliciously attack your forces. Is that good enough for you, morality master?"

No, it isn't. Was he in custody? Yes. Was he still a "threat" to US forces? No. Case fucking closed.

"Show me how I backpedalled!"

I already did.

"I have noticed a significant change in your style and attitude."

No fucking shit. Hee! I'm surprised someone as dense as you even picked up on it.

And, for the record, I don't have any "minions" here. Hee! Who the fuck do you think I am, the ass kissing AK? Fuck that. I say whatever the hell I want to say. When I'm pissed at Leftists, I tell them. I'm sure people here will agree with that. For the thousandth time--I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS.

How so? Because I used his surname?

"Too, terminology is always important. Language does not simply convey fact, but attitude, and you changed your attitude extremely."

My attitude did not change. I address him as Mr. Lindh as to avoid using his 1st name, which implies a lack of formality. I wish to maintain an air of formality here, because there is nothing casual about my attitude for him. Perhaps you should re-assess you reading comprehension and learn to abstract out the difference between respect and snide formality.

"Maybe to the bleeding hearts here, but many people see it as an appropriate wartime measure."

"More garbage. If he's in custody, how is binding him, blindfolding him and putting him in a box "appropriate?""

It removes all doubt of threat

"It isn't, and everyone knows it. You, however, with your faith-based jingoism(sic), will defend any atrocity done by the USA, regardless of how vile, which, of course, makes you just as vile or, possibly, moreso.


What occured was not an atrocity. It was a legitimate action designed to detain Mr. Lindh and deny him a forum for his shenanigans.


"When they are an enemy POW and have demonstrated a willingness and ability to maliciously attack your forces. Is that good enough for you, morality master?"

"No, it isn't. Was he in custody? Yes. Was he still a "threat" to US forces? No. Case fucking closed."

It is interesting that one of the principles of an arguement is deciding when said arguement is over. Last time I checked, that is not consistent with legitimat debate, therefore, the case is not closed.

"In custody" is subject to degrees. US forces did what they felt was necessary to subdue an individual with demonstrated aggression against the United states and its interests.

""Show me how I backpedalled!"

I already did."

No you didn't, and I have not.

"I have noticed a significant change in your style and attitude."

"No fucking shit. Hee! I'm surprised someone as dense as you even picked up on it."

I try

"And, for the record, I don't have any "minions" here. Hee! Who the fuck do you think I am, the ass kissing AK?"

No vox, to the contrary, you having minions would mean that your but is being kissed. Do you know what "minion" means? Look it up.

"Fuck that. I say whatever the hell I want to say. When I'm pissed at Leftists, I tell them. I'm sure people here will agree with that. For the thousandth time--I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS."

Wow, let me tell you tiger, you had me fooled.

"Anyone who doesn't like what I post can fuck right off.

Human blood-lust?

Take out the tape of "Caligula", close your eyes, and count to 10.

"You can try to justify inhuman actions all you want, but we all can see the truth, except for Mazdak, who really belongs on your side of the fence, especially in terms of general stupidity."

At least Mazdak is a true red, acknowledging what communism really is.

I'm serious, you'd better ask yourself that question. Your politics, they're not exactly mainstream. Making claims Bush knew about 9/11, that's not going to win you any friends. Especially in my country, where if you ever said that in a crowded room, you'd be leaving on crutches.

You seem to have "such a big heart" for all the world's people. You have the same warped ideals as my friend Peacceniked, who claims to care so much about people, too, but writes me off as a piece of shit because we disagree. vox as well.

Funny how you guys seem to be so progressive, how you seem to be so much for "human rights." Even funnier how you seem to "pick and choose" who deserves them.

Yeah, you're a dick to me. I never did anything to you. I guess I don't "deserve them."

How do you compare being locked in a box with 30 minutes of fresh air, and shakled to a strecher? Are you kidding me? Realise thats the BIGGEST and WORST case of mal treatment they could find, otherwise they wouldn't have showed it. If he was in hancuffs and blind folded you would have nothing to say.

We treat our POW's well, and by well i mean better than 90% of the countrys out there.

They keep you naked for reasons that you may not be aware of.

A. if your on suicide watch
B. So you can't conceal weapons

No they can't always be sure. The best way is to keep them to minimal clothing or naked. Its no uncommon for this to be done to US citizens as well. He isn't PERMANATLY
that poorly clothed.

"Ever tought the guy could get sick of the cold in that container, imagine youself naketh in a cold container restrained to a stretcher."

its a PRISON, not a cave or a dungeon. He isnt freezing or chained to walls and beatan. He has better conditions in the prison then he did in afghanistan.

Copied from http://www.intellectualconservative.com/page1010.html

"We are speaking of men being allowed three “religiously appropriate” meals per day, opportunities and means (a mat to lean on, a Koran) to practice and study their religion, tools with which to write, time and faculties with which they can exercise and shower, various necessary toiletries, a mat and a pillow on which they can sleep … it occurs to our more stable intellects, these are men ostensibly being treated no differently than your average American prisoner...."

Just because american POWs have been treated worse, its okay to treat Lindh like that? Under that same mind-set, since the united states dropped atomic bombs on innocent japanese people, its perfectly okay for terrorists to run a plane into the twin towers. I mean, hey, at least it wasn't an atomic bomb.. lol.. it doesn't matter if worse has been done.

"other people have done bad things . why can't we ?"


Because its in the name of the US state,who think the're the police of the planet.

I believe the correct term is "state terrorism".
Which in my view is the worst kind.

We didn't treat lindh like that

"Under that same mind-set, since the united states dropped atomic bombs on innocent japanese people"

someone had to end the war.....

"its perfectly okay for terrorists to run a plane into the twin towers. I mean, hey, at least it wasn't an atomic bomb.. lol.. it doesn't matter if worse has been done."

Yea i guess if you died that wouldnt be as bad as 2 people dying becuase 2 people are better than one... great logic deaushe bag
The fact that you have that mind set shows how truly idiotic you are.

lol it doesnt matter if worse has been done. as if everything becomes insignificant and irrelevant as worse is done. OMG lol

Tinker, your an idiot. That post wasn't serious. I was mocking the idea that because one person does something bad, we can do it to (even if it is to a lesser degree).

And i very much believe that sacrificing one life to save two is not a horrible idea. I commend anyone who has(d) the courage to do that.
