The father of CIA officer Johnny "Mike" Spann, the first American to be killed in action after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has blasted the scheduled release this month of John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban who was part of a prison uprising in which his son was slain.
Johnny Spann, 70, of Winfield, Alabama, told the Washington Examiner that Lindh, now 38, remains a threat and called on President Trump to ensure he serves his full term of 20 years, which expires in November 2021, rather than being feed because of good behavior on May 23.
“I don’t know if there’s anything that President Trump can do, but there’s gotta be somebody who can do something,†Johnny Spann said. It appears there are few, if any, options open to Trump because a judge has agreed that Lindh has abided by the plea bargain struck when he was convicted in 2002.
