The Latest on John Walker Lindh’s release from prison (all times local):
10:25 a.m.
The daughter of a CIA officer killed in Afghanistan after interrogating John Walker Lindh in 2001 wrote President Donald Trump urging him to block the early release of the so-called « American Taliban. »
Lindh walked free on Thursday anyway, having served 17 years of a 20-year sentence for illegally aiding the Taliban forces.
Alison Spann is now a journalist in Alabama. She says she last saw her father, Mike Spann, when she was 9 years old. She posted her letter to Trump on her Twitter page, calling her dad ‘the first American killed in the war on terror. »
She calls the early release of Lindh for good behavior « a slap in the face » to everyone killed on Sept.
