"The ‘American Taliban’ will be free after 17 years. Is the U.S. ready to welcome him back?"
The headline at WaPo. My answer to that question: It's enough to accept that he served the prison term that he was given and accept that he now has a right to be free and do what he can to restart his life. To "welcome" him is to be glad to see him again. Let him prove himself. Don't put obstacles in front of him. But "welcome" is too strong a word.Dubbed the “American Taliban,” [John Walker] Lindh was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to supporting militants who harbored al-Qaeda as it planned the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But in a surprise move, Lindh will be released from federal prison on Thursday, three years early, federal officials said.Okay, then he hasn't served the prison term that he was given... but, whatever the process, it's been determined that it's time to release him into American society. Apparently, it's time off for good behavior. That's the process, and the process was followed.
Federal officials requested numerous conditions for Lindh’s release, according to court filings. He will need permission to acquire Internet-capable devices, which would be monitored “continuously.” Lindh was ordered to undergo mental health counseling and will not be allowed to communicate online in any language other than English without approval. He is also barred from having a passport, communicating with known extremists or accessing material that reflects “extremist or terroristic views,” according to the documents.....
Lindh has expressed remorse for his crimes. He tearfully told the judge during his 2002 sentencing: “I have never supported terrorism in any form, and I never will. . . . I made a mistake by joining the Taliban,” he said at the time. “Had I realized then what I know now, I would never have joined them.”...
