    Thank you for posting this.

    The whole story of Lindh is an embarrassment to a country proclaiming an interest in justice. Most people are too consumed with hatred to be interested in the whole story.

    There is no restriction against a felon running for President.

    i have no problem with it, just that i think it is redundant, and unless local law has access then it is a duplicate that needs a direct data link otherwise, as has in the past, mistakes will be made.

    There is no different solution for his case.

    But we may want to make sentences a lot longer for future cases.

    He should never have been captured in the first place. This traitor should have been killed, not captured. Interrogate his Taliban buddies, but execute the traitor in the field.

    Yes.

    His sentence should have been longer than what it was.

    I do believe it is the law in every state for any position of elected office.But as I am corrected not for a federal position, so that's why there is so many crooks in office....

    I've worked in construction since 1979 and I never met an illegal that had any interest in voting. They were very interested in beer and women...

    Because calling someone a Nazi, racist, bigot, etc, etc, and who's supporters and people who work for him are assaulted and harassed on a regular basis doesn't mean they are being persecuted, oh no.

    There is no Constitutional provision for stripping a natural born citizen of their citizenship.

    You realize he joined the Taliban well prior to the US going to war with the Taliban, yes? And he was already captured by the time US personnel encountered him.

    Are you suggesting the US government should be given arbitrary power to conduct extrajudicial executions just by calling someone a traitor?

    My solution is to strip him of his citizenship.

    And longer prison sentences.

    Meh. He joined up with the Taliban pre 9/11 and couldn't get out when everything went down. Never fought against US soldiers.

    If you were aware of the entire story regarding Lindh, and you had an open mind and were honest with yourself, you would know that he was not radical at all, and therefore could not be "deradicalized" at all.

    Just "do it" and let him deal with it in the courts!

    BTW I did mention permanent expulsion, let him keep his citizenship
    for what it would be worth to him.
    nada

    Given that Islamist terrorism is ideologically conservative, to the max, I'm surprised trumpkins are immediately assigning him lefty status.

    Not really.

    It's what people do when reality has eaten their soul.

    Well, we can't lock up every Islamic radical.

    If we did that maybe 1 out of 10 persons in the Islamic World would have to be taken into custody.

    So openly have the government violate the Constitution. There is no provision for the government to exile citizens.

    Wouldn't be the first time ;)

    Your last upload you address losing citizenship.
    This upload you address exile citizens.
    Which is it?


    How about tell him to get out of the country or
    face further imprisonment for this or that.


    The gov't has "ways".
