John Walker Lindh is not exactly a hero of mine, but he’s no threat. He’s done his time. He should go free, and not have to put up with anything so totalitarian as “round the clock surveillance.” Jesus Tulsi, 1984 was a warning, not an instruction manual. Gabbard seems to believe in either life in prison or the death penalty for anybody convicted of anything related to Islamic terrorism. Up until now she’s cleverly masked her neoconservative, Islamophobic ideology, but here she’s outed herself. I apologize to all of her critics I was dumb enough to defend her against.
