John Walker Lindh ran off and joined the Taliban before 9/11 and before we invaded Afghanistan. How is that treason?
Moreover, can you assure me that his actions against US and Northern Alliance forces were offensive and not defensive? He was a prisoner of the Northern Alliance who had already murdered hundreds of captured Taliban. The escape attempt and resultant battle could be viewed simply as an effort on the part of the captives to save their lives.
