America's 'Detainee 001' – The Persecution of John Walker Lindh

Amen! I wrote something about this ten or so years ago (of the same title save "Detainee 001") and couldn't get it published anywhere. He is America's number one political prisoner. Of what is he guilty? He was captured and tortured by American forces, and dumped in a prison from which he escaped after it was abandoned by NATO. He joined the Taliban, and it stood in the way of an oil pipeline, that's his crime.
