This still young man has never, to my knowledge, been able to tell his story to America. Here it is, as told to Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales, by John Walker Lindh's parents.

Ashcroft and Cheney are criminals and they have really blackened the image of fairness, and raised the level of fear in America. What a shame this is, and they are likely never to come to trial for their crimes. We will be a long time living this down. A long, long time.

As a Christian I have an obligation to visit the prisoners in prison. This is my way of fulfilling, in part, this obligation.
