A new documentary tackles the complex and oft-misunderstood story of John Walker Lindh, commonly known as the American Taliban, who was released from prison in 2019 after serving seventeen years of a 20-year sentence for providing support to the Taliban. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Director Greg Barker, who has spent many years chronicling the conflicts in the Middle East, joins us to discuss his latest film, “Detainee 001,” which premieres on September 10 on Showtime.

As Americans make a messy exit from Afghanistan after 20 years, our messy entry in 2001 has been largely erased. The distorted official narrative and media coverage of the case of John Lindh has never been corrected, and most Americans falsely believe that Lindh was a traitor who killed a CIA agent.

An unrepentant John Walker Lindh was recently released early for good behavior. But, his behavior was anything but good, and he's still hell-bent on preaching Radical Islam. Should we be afraid, be very afraid? This first U.S.-born detainee in the war on terror, walked out of federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, a free man, after serving only 17 of the 20 years he was sentenced to for fighting alongside the Taliban. But, who is John Walker Lindh and why did he join the Taliban? Hear how his traumatic childhood - including a debilitating illness, a dad who moved out to take a male lover, Spike Lee’s film “Malcolm X” and more - precipitated his conversion to Islam and travel to the Middle East by the time he was 20. Why shouldn’t we just let bygones be bygones and let him get on with his life now? Hear what he has done, while in prison, to provoke global jihad and how he plans to continue once he’s released. We need to fix the system now before more jihadists stream out of prison to continue their fight.

“He’s been punished even more than the American prison system can aspire to punish anyone”: Mike tells Sarah how John Walker Lindh became a terrorist in the media, a freedom fighter in his own mind and something between the two in reality. Digressions include “Newsies," Bruce Willis and “Candide.” Sarah sneakily reveals her lifelong affection for Howard Stern.Support us: Subscribe on Patreon, donate on Paypal or buy cute stuff!

Jeffrey Hess, author of "No Salvation" speaks with Jack & Ian about his novel inspired by actual events that took place in 1972 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk.  The novel details how African-American sailors faced difficulties while trying to obtain higher ranked positions within the Navy, despite a lower requirement for enlistment.  Hess describes the riot about the USS Kitty Hawk in October of '72 and how Commander Porter was able to finally diffuse the situation.  Hess shares why he wrote about an issue as controversial as racial inequality in the military as well as what inspired him to get into writing in the first place.

The Justice Department is filing new criminal charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange is charged with violating the US Espionage Act. He was previously charged with conspiracy to commit computer hacking, related to the leaks of US diplomatic cables and military documents. Assange remains in jail in London after being evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy there. John Walker Lindh, known widely as the “American Taliban,” has been released from prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Lindh was freed on probation after serving 17 years of a 20-year sentence for providing support to the Taliban. He was captured during the US invasion of Afghanistan in the fall of 2001 and returned to the United States the next year. I think there is more to this story than we've been led to believe.While the US likes to characterize its regime-change efforts in Venezuela as humanitarian in nature, the targeting of officials involved in a program that so many ordinary Venezuelans rely on reveals that the US aims to install opposition leader Juan Guaido by any means necessary. The new sanctions follow a report by the Center for Economic Policy Research, which stated that 40,000 Venezuelans have died because of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration that prevent essential supplies from getting into the country. “The sanctions are depriving Venezuelans of lifesaving medicines, medical equipment, food, and other essential imports,” Mark Weisbrot, who co-authored the report, wrote in a press release.GUESTS:Greg Palast — Award-winning investigative reporter featured in The Guardian, Nation Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, BBC and other high profile media outlets.

In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, U.S. forces scoured Afghanistan for Taliban fighters. They weren’t expecting to find John Walker Lindh, a young man from California who had converted to Islam and moved abroad to study the Quran. Lindh was dubbed the “American Taliban,” but his case ended in a plea deal, leaving his treatment while in custody a secret. At the time, Lindh’s story seemed uncomplicated: He was associating with extremists. Now, years later, his case feels like a missed opportunity. How did it happen that he went through our criminal justice system, but we learned so little about extremism and the nation’s treatment of detainees?

America was first introduced to him in December 2001.  He became known as the “American Taliban” and he is set to be released from prison today.  John Walker Lindh is being released after serving 17 years of a 20 year sentence for providing support to the Taliban. John Woolfolk, reporter for the San Jose Mercury News, joins us for who the “American Taliban” is and the big questions how does a former jihadist get integrated back into society. Next, Washington has become the first state in the country to legalize human composting.  Before the only acceptable means of disposition of a human body was burial or cremation, now we have “natural organic reduction.”  The process involves wood chips, takes about four weeks, and yields about two wheelbarrows worth of soil. Brendan Kiley, reporter for the Seattle Times, joins us for a new alternative to burial or cremation. Finally, President Trump and Democrats continue their fight with each other and nothing is getting done.  What started off as a meeting on infrastructure ended with a press conference in the Rose Garden where the president said he would not work with Democrats until they stop investigating him.  Daniel Lippman, reporter for Politico, joins us for the big walk out by the president.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons estimates it will release 112 inmates with convictions relating to international terrorism between 2015 and 2020, with an additional 100 releases between 2021 and 2031. NJOHSP assesses that the threat from terrorists recently released from prison is moderate given the small number of releases in connection with terrorism-related offenses over the past five years, supervision upon release, and public scrutiny.  In this episode, we explore the upcoming release of the “American Taliban,” John Walker Lindh, and others who said they will continue to harbor extremist ideologies.

In Human Programming: Brainwashing, Automatons, and American Unfreedom (University of Minnesota Press, 2016), Scott Selisker offers readers a fascinating new history of American anxieties along the borderland between the machine and the human mind. Demonstrating the way that a variety of fields influence and coproduce one another, Human Programming follows the metaphor of the automaton through news media, fiction, psychology, cybernetics, film, law and back again. Along the way, Selisker engages academic work on labor automation, posthumanism, affect and emotion, and techno-Orientalism. Through careful interpretation of books on American soldiers returning from the Korean War, the trial of Patty Hearst, the narrative logic of Snow Crash and Blade Runner, the central conflicts of Homeland and the Manchurian Candidate, and the baffled news reports on John Walker Lindh, Human Programming “offers a new literary and cultural context for understanding the human automaton figure” as it has appeared and reappeared over the half century, and explores how the metaphor of the automaton has “shaped American conversations about the self and other, the free and unfree, and democracy and its enemies, since World War II” (7, 8).

In Human Programming: Brainwashing, Automatons, and American Unfreedom (University of Minnesota Press, 2016), Scott Selisker offers readers a fascinating new history of American anxieties along the borderland between the machine and the human mind. Demonstrating the way that a variety of fields influence and coproduce one another, Human Programming follows the metaphor of the automaton through news media, fiction, psychology, cybernetics, film, law and back again. Along the way, Selisker engages academic work on labor automation, posthumanism, affect and emotion, and techno-Orientalism. Through careful interpretation of books on American soldiers returning from the Korean War, the trial of Patty Hearst, the narrative logic of Snow Crash and Blade Runner, the central conflicts of Homeland and the Manchurian Candidate, and the baffled news reports on John Walker Lindh, Human Programming “offers a new literary and cultural context for understanding the human automaton figure” as it has appeared and reappeared over the half century, and explores how the metaphor of the automaton has “shaped American conversations about the self and other, the free and unfree, and democracy and its enemies, since World War II” (7, 8).

Frank Lindh joins us this episode to talk about his son John Walker Lindh. Mr. Lindh gives a chronological breakdown of what happened with his son John. How John went from a young curious boy who accepted Islam to being unjustly imprisoned by the US Government. About John Walker Lindh John was only 20 years... The post EP 90 – Frank Lindh, Father of John Walker Lindh appeared first on Greed for Ilm.

"Its Islam over everything."So read the Twitter bio of Douglas McAuthur McCain—or, as he reportedly called himself, "Duale Khalid"—the San Diego man who is apparently the first American to be killed while fighting for ISIS. According to NBC News, McCain grew up in Minnesota, was a basketball player, and wanted to be a rapper. Friends describe him as a high school "goofball" and "a really nice guy." So what could have made him want to join the ranks of other Americans drawn towards militant Islam like John Walker Lindh and Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Yahiye Gadahn? And how can we explain the dozens of other Americans who have also gone off to fight as jihadists in Syria, for ISIS and other militant groups?According to University of Maryland psychologist and terrorism expert Arie Kruglanski, who has studied scores of militant extremists, part of the clue may lie in that Twitter tagline of McCain's. Not just its content, but the mindset that it indicates—one that sees the world in sharp definition, no shades of gray. "These extreme ideologies have a twofold type of appeal," explains Kruglanski on this week’s episode. "First of all, they are very coherent, black and white, right or wrong. Secondly, they afford the possibility of becoming very unique, and part of a larger whole."We talked to Kruglanski about what motivates people like McCain in the first place—and about the science of what makes a terrorist.This episode also features a discussion of a new Pew report showing that social media may actually discourage the expression of some opinions (rather than enabling them), and of how neuroscientists and filmmakers are working together to understand how people's perceptions actually work in a movie theater.iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/inquiring-minds/id711675943RSS: feeds.feedburner.com/inquiring-mindsStitcher: stitcher.com/podcast/inquiring-minds
