Taliban Soldiers
29 September 2004John Walker Lindh's attorney has requested a reduced sentence for his client in light of the release, this week, of Yasser Esam Hamdi -- another American citizen (who grew up in Saudi Arabia) held on suspicion of fighting for the Taliban. Hamdi is slated to be sent back to Saudi Arabia after being held for three years without charges, while Lindh has been sentenced to twenty years in prison after arranging a plea-deal. "'He was a young man at the wrong place at the wrong time, and he was there for genuine religious reasons,'" said Lindh's lawyer.
