Lindh Moved to Supermax Prison in Colorado

John Walker Lindh, serving a 20-year sentence after fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan, has been transferred to Supermax, the federal government's most secure prison, authorities said Thursday.
Lindh was moved to the facility about 90 miles south of Denver in February for security reasons, said Isidro Garcia, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons. Garcia said he had no other information.
Lindh's transfer was first reported on Newsweek.com. He had been held at a medium-security federal penitentiary in Victorville, Calif.
Lindh was captured in November 2001 by American forces sent to topple the Taliban after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He was charged with conspiring to kill Americans and support terrorists but pleaded guilty to lesser charges, including carrying explosives for the Taliban government.
Lindh has served 4 1/2 years. His attorneys have applied to President Bush to commute his sentence after Australian David Hicks was sentenced to less than a year in prison last month for aiding terrorism.
Supermax houses some of the nation's most notorious inmates, including Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing coconspirator Terry Nichols and Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph.

Lindh will find the Supermax prison is very clean. He can look forward to that.
Too bad he didn’t catch a bullet on the battlefield.
Enjoy life in the hole, rat boy.
Hope he brings lots of cartons of cigarettes with him.
What you really mean is now that he is going to supermax, no much of a chance of some patriot getting a clean head shot on him...
No smoking policy is vigorously enforced in prison...
Nice of you to provide such a lovely photo of Friday night services at your local mosque.
Moving him to a maximum security prison says that he’s been having problems where he was incarcerated.
True... it is quite a shame that none of the other prisoners at his former prison succeeded in beating him into a dead, bloody pulp.
Just saw a National Geographic show about the uprising that this scumbag was involved in.
I remember when it happened and I remember Johnny Michael Spann, the CIA operative, former USMC, and first casualty in the war on terror.
I hope Lindh goes crazy and bashes his own head in while in prison.
Interesting. From medium security to the highest security.
What happened?
Sounds like his sentence will not be reduced. Yip!
It’ll be a while before Jihad John parks his butt in a Marin County hot tub again.
