<p>Anyone remember John Walker Lindh? Misguided, idealistic kid from California (two years younger than Rahmatullah), goes to Pakistan to study, through some misjudgments and other circumstances ends up in Afghanistan with the Taliban, and is captured by U.S. forces after 9/11. Brought home to stand trial, pilloried in the press as the American Taliban, coerced into a plea bargain after being threatened with three consecutive life sentences, ends up with a 20-year prison term with no parole. Meanwhile, the real Taliban gets to go to Yale and is featured in a New York Times Magazine cover story. Someone is going to have to explain to me where is the justice in that.</p>
