Are they all from Berkeley? /sarcasm

There is an American Citizen who needs to face a Military Tribunal.

You mean Jerry bin Falwell and Pat Muhammed Robertson went over to Afghanistan to fight the 'evil America'? Both of them seemed to be quick to blame America in the same way Osama did for the 9/11 attacks.

The Tourist Guy and his photographer.

If three emerged alive, I wonder how many have assumed room temperature.....?

Three people who claim to be American citizens and who fought on the side of the Taliban militia are now in control of U.S. forces or U.S.-allied opposition forces in northern Afghanistan, senior defense officials said Monday.

are now in control of U.S. forces ??????????

This has to be the worst worded report in the history of reporting.

Let the Northern Alliance deal with them as they see fit - they are foreign nationals who came to Afghanistan to fight for the losing side in a civil war. If they ever get back to this country, put 'em on trial for treason. There is no problem or story here. There is also nothing the US needs to do about this at this time.

Does this meet the definition of treason? Talk about giving aid to the enemy!!

A good question is this: How pervasive is the promotion of violent Jihad as a 'solution' in the American Mosques?

If those who have recently embraced 'peaceful Islam' can be brainwashed into murderers so quickly, is there any wonder as to how easy it is to get lifelong propagandized boys to become the mad suicidal Palistinian bombers who are killing Israelis?

John Walker should be investigated and tried as a war criminal.

From Raiders of the Lost Ark...

shoot zem....shoot zem both.

So it was really not impossible to infiltrate Osama's Taliban.

Too bad someone from the CIA didn't join Mr Walker in his odyssey, it could have simplified matters considerably quite some time ago.

It will be interesting to see if W prosecutes him. As a citizen, he can not be tried by the military rump courts, and that means that his defense could contain all of the accusations against US policies that destroyed Afghanistan. On top of that, since we never declared war on Afghanistan in our wisdom, he is protected by the Jane Fonda syndrome. I bet he walks and gets to write a book.

You got that wrong, bud. These were members of the Buchanan Brigades.

Not long ago there was an infamous spy ring, led by someone named John Walker.

I hope the bastards are in the front of the line for a US military tribunal, and if found guilty of treason, are shot.

>>>>he could not say whether Walker is considered a prisoner of war or whether he would be returned to the United States.<<<<<

Perhaps Walker is considered for decoration. </sarcasm off >

Btw, is this Walker in relation to William Walker of Racak fame?

Too many Walkers walking with the terrorists

Does this meet the definition of treason? Talk about giving aid to the enemy!!

  I'm honestly not sure that it does. We set the standards for treason pretty darn high in this country.

  During the VietNam war, the Supreme Court ruled that in order for the "aid and comfort to the enemy" clause to come into effect, we had to be at war. Not just fighting, not in a police action, but at war. We are not at war with either Afghanistan or the Taliban, as we have never made a declaration of war. Only the Congress, not the President, can declare war.

  The taking up arms against the country part of our treason definition seems like a much more fruitful area for charging him. But then we come up against our standards of proof. There have to be two witnesses to an act of treason, or a confession in open court. So, unless we have at least two people who saw him actively fighting against U.S. troops, I doubt we can get him on a charge of treason.

  Presumably we'll find something to charge him with, though.

I heard Mark Davis of WBAP (Dallas) reporting that some captured American's father said "I just hope he doesn't fall into John Ashcroft's hands,"
to which Davis added "I hope the Northern Alliance deals with him, with a gunbarrel in his mouth!"

Technically, it has to be proven that these so called Americans actually engaged in military action against American assets. If anything, they only fought Northern Alliance forces or were in the presence of Taliban forces who did. While I condone neither their actions nor their sympathies, I belive a case could be made for their innocence of the charge of treason.
