American Taliban
Debate is raging over the proper punishment for John Walker, the California 20-year-old who fought with the Taliban against the U.S. What do you think?
Peter Dunn,
Systems Analyst
"I hope that traitor spends the rest of his life locked away in substantially better living conditions than he had in Afghanistan."
Vicki Robbins,
Psychologist
"Why couldn't he have been like other shallow, overprivileged white kids and just spent a few years in Prague?"
Tom Eisen,
CEO
"As CEO of a major scotch manufacturer, I demand that he be referred to as John Lindh. Our image is going down the toilet, goddammit."
Frank Costello,
Delivery Driver
"Treason or not, I think it was hurtful and tasteless of Walker to go around in
blackface like that."
Burt Bynum,
Cashier
"We could execute Walker, or we could sentence him to tour the country's elementary schools lecturing on how plotting to destroy the U.S. is a dead end."
Roberta Davis,
Dental Hygienist
"That's it. I'm pulling my son Jason out of that Pakistani madrassa pronto."
