MICHAEL SPANN IS ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE:
And with good reason. What good does John Walker Lindh do for us? He's despicable, by any sane calculation, and as close to an enemy of this country as we have encountered thusfar. The trial was to be held in the Eastern District of Virginia, for goodness' sake, which means a conviction on all 10 counts was a foregone conclusion.
Of course, the really ridiculous thing (unreported in the Times, and I can't say that surprises me) was his father's comment comparing Lindh to Nelson Mandela. The CNN anchorwoman was even forced to say, "I think that's stretching it a bit far..." Wasn't Mandela a good guy, after all?
