John Walker, the pathetic 20-year-old who changed his name, fought with the Taliban, and took up arms against the United States is by all definitions, a traitor. His misguided parents refer to him as their boy and insist he was brainwashed by the Islamic terrorists he fought with.
Our U.S. forces have thousands of 20-year-old men fighting in Afghanistan to put an end to terrorism. To have this terrorist referred to as an American is an insult to all who are fighting and dying to stamp out this evil.
This same John Walker, or Abdul as he is now called, could very well have had a part in the killing of CIA Officer, Johnny “Mike” Spann. This is the same John (Abdul) Walker, who felt that the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen was justified.
No doubt the bleeding hearts will claim he was led astray, misguided and too young to understand. Remember, he abandoned his family, his way of life, took on a new religion, adopted a new homeland, changed his name and fought against his own countrymen. He must be held accountable for his actions. Should he eventually be declared a U.S. citizen, he should be charged with treason and if found guilty, summarily executed.
